In-Place Upgrade

Most likely, you ran out of space on the drive during the update (which is a big no no). Firefox's update utility crashes when this happens (it's a known bug) and corrupts your install of Firefox.

Luckily, the fix is simple. Download a fresh copy of Firefox Portable 2.0.0.2 and install it right over your corrupted copy.

For future reference, this is right in the FAQ:

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