Possible cause
It sounds like most of what FireFox is doing is doing it on the local hard drive in a temp folder, and because of the settings, e.g. security settings, the data is erased. I don't know of a way to tell FF to store the extensions on a folder that I specify.

Be sure to let it close
If you have a slower thumbdrive, it can take a full minute for FF to close. If you pull the drive before this, it will corrupt some files in the FF profile and they'll be reset.
