This appears when Firefox Portable tests the medium it's running from for writeability. It writes a simple emtpy file and deletes it. If that fails, it thinks it's read only. If you have a read only switch, be sure it is OFF. If you don't, your drive probably has logical errors and should be backed up, reformatted and restored.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Either that or you're using an external hard drive formatted with NTFS with only guest or limited permissions.
Vintage!
