After working right when I first installed it, I invoked Firefox Portable (on Windows 7) and found myself looking at what appeared to be my regular Firefox browser, based on the tabs I had open and other settings. I checked Task Manager, and it was really tbb-firefox.exe that was running. I searched the support site, and based on advice I found there I went into \Tor Browser\FirefoxPortable\Data\settings and renamed the FirefoxPortableSettings.ini file, then reran Firefox Portable, and it worked as expected. The next time I started it up, however, it went back to the settings of the desktop Firefox install, and seems determined to do that every time now. Any advice on how to keep it from switching personalities?

Tor Browser is not supported or authorized by PortableApps.com or Mozilla. It's modified using some unrecommended settings, so you'd need to ask the Tor folks.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
