When you go to set the location of the profile, simple locate it on your jump drive. Then, whenever you have your jump drive in, you can use your portable profile with a bit more speed than you get from a jump drive. There are other possibilities as well. The profile manager is a greatly underused feature of Firefox in my opinion. Perhaps it would help if it were to be given it's own menu option on Windows? There is already an option for safe mode under the Firefox submenu if I recall correctly. Unfortunately, this wouldn't be very practical in most Linux menus simply because they are organized by categories of programs and programs generally do not get their own submenus.
