Hi, I've been using your version of portable Firefox for some time now. Recently I upgraded PowerDVD on one of my computers, and the installation installed a copy of the google toolbar but because the portable version of firefox was open it tried to install it onto that instead. Now whenever i close portable firefox it deletes the local firefox directory. I have tried re-downloading it and using a fresh copy and I have tried it on other computers with the same results. Now i'm stuck because every computer that has admin rights on it will get it's firefox directory deleted.

Firefox Portable doesn't touch the C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox directory. At all. Ever. And it will only touch the C:\Documents and Settings\[login]\Application Data\Mozilla Firefox directory to store a plugins registry file while running, which is deleted on exit. The directory is then removed only if it's empty.
Only thing I can thing of is that it's Google toolbar doing it. Uninstall PowerDVD and Google toolbar on your PC. Get a fresh copy of FFP and start from there. Also be sure it's gone from your extensions folder if you're keeping your profile.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
remember that message "close any running program before..."
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
