Transer Old FireFoxPortable Settings to New FireFoxPortable

Because I didn't use it as much as thought I would, I decided to remove the Portable Apps Suite "container" from my USB drive and simply keep the portable programs I use the most.

Therefore, I pulled my entire "FireFoxPortable" folder to the desktop, removed the Portable Apps Suite by formatting my USB drive, and promptly dragged the FireFoxPortable folder back to my USB drive.

I thought that, since it's the exact same folder I have been using for months, that my profile, bookmarks, extensions, Greasemonkey scripts, etc. would all work the same as before.

However, though my profile and bookmarks seem O.K., when I start FireFoxPortable now, my extensions and, therefore, Greasemonkey scripts don't show up or work.

Is there a reason why my FireFoxPortable doesn't work after merely pulling it to the desktop and immediately putting it back on my USB drive? If so, what can I do to correct it?

F.Y.I. It's the latest version.

My thanks in advance.

GreaseMonkey

Some GreaseMonkey stuff gets wonky if you change the full path to it at all. Be sure it's still in X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable.

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

Thanks!

I created a folder called "PortableApps" and put the old FIreFoxPortable folder in there. Worked like a charm!

Thanks for your help. Also, thanks for the great portable app. I don't go anywhere without it!
