I backed up my Firefox portable 2.0 folder to firefox.rar ( the archive is not broken )
I formatted my OS, installed XP again, extracted files & launched firefox. But none of my addons work suddenly. They all look like on this image: Yet they should be all green & working, cuz after I zipped it up I extracted & made sure everything was working.

I cant uninstall, change options, disable enable any addon, Firefox is freezing up if you try to change any addon options.
Now im worried, cuz it took me 5 hours to restore addons+settings & I still lost 70% of all stuff. What if this happens again? I can not find an explanation how could this have happened.

The extensions.rdf, extensions.ini and extensions.cache can be deleted in your FirefoxPortable\Data\profile folder and it will reset them all. Firefox probably didn't like the path change (and the launcher didn't fix it properly after the restore).
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
The path was not changed!
I tried to illustrate what happened, but technically my firefox lies on a separate drive & in a fixed location on D drive, its path never changes, Cuz I only format C. There is no need to back it up technically.
So after format, when I started it, this weird stuff happened.
I forgot to say that I removed like 80% of components from my Windows installation disc & disabled most of the services & did other tweaking stuff, so I cant even compare it to my old XP, its so fast now.
Yet all other programs work that I was using before format, multimedia, games, flash, video, my programming software, languages etc.
