I no longer want to use Firefox portable, and want to go back to using the nonportable version. But I need to transfer my settings, folders, address books, etc to the nonportable version.

Do you have to sync those two or is it a clean overwrite? Your profile on your portable has all the info you need.

If its a new install of Tbird then stop without making any accounts. open troubleshooting information and click on show folder -button

close Tbird.

delete all in that directory. copy in to this directory, the contents in your portable Data\profile directory (Not the directory but it contents).

start Tbird
