How can you go back and forth from local Firefox to Portable Apps Firefox ?

I would like to download my local Firefoxbookmarks to my Portable Apps Firefox bookmarks. Then after collecting new bookmarks on my PortApps Thumbdrive merge all of the new bookmarks into my local computer Firefox booksmarks.

Can do ?

This works great, I use it extensively.

Or This...

I use Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize my profile data between my local Firefox and my FirefoxPortable.

If you just want to do your bookmarks, then set SyncToy to sync:

C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR_USERNAME]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[EIGHT_RANDOM_CHARACTERS].default\bookmarks.html

and

[THUMBDRIVE_LETTER]:\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\bookmarks.html

Copying all settings from Portable to Local ...

I am contemplating migrating back to local FF from portable. I like portable, but it is just too slow for me. Would you recommend MS SyncToy for a one-time transfer of my complete profile from portable to local? I work daily on a home and an office PC, so I am also looking for a way to sync the complete profile between the two PCs once I complete the initial migration. Any suggestion on the best way to do this. I know there is an add on that syncs bookmarks, but I'd like a way to sync my entire profile between two stand alone PCs. Thank you. Jeff Ruday.
