If Firefox Nightly Portable crashes, then when it restarts, it loads the non-portable Firefox profile instead of it's own

I use Firefox 27.0.1 stable (non-portable) as my everyday browser in windows 8.1 x64.

I have also installed
FirefoxPortableNightly_30.0_Alpha_1_Pre_English_online.paf

All works ok, but, if Nightly Portable crashes
and you press "Restart Firefox" in the Mozilla Crash Reporter window
(the crash report is submitted before it restarts)
then, when it restarts, it loads the profile of my Firefox 27, instead of the Nightly Portable one!

Please fix this issue.

Don't Restart

Crash restarts break out of portability. You shouldn't restart. I'm unsure if you should be submitting crash reports from the portable version either.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
