Transfer portable settings to the non portable version?

In general, the settings for regular Firefox are stored in

and those for the portable version are in

x:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile

For the most part, just copy the files. Make backups first, in case "just copy" breaks something. WinMergePortable might help.
