Firefox Portable deletes symlinks
I use a regular Firefox install on my PC, and Firefox Portable on my USB. On my PC, I moved the C:\Users\\Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla folder to a separate partition, and used the mklink command in Win7 to symlink it. All worked fine until I ran Firefox Portable on my PC... When it exited, it deleted the symlink. This is the only portable app I've used that deletes symlinks. I've done the same thing with Pidgin's .purple folder, Thunderbird's folder, etc, and those portable apps don't mess with my symlinks.
