portable

Every time I upgrade to a new version of the portable Tor bundle, I also have to reinstall all my plugins and Greasemonkey extensions, and set up all the preferences in Firefox and Pidgin again. Are there certain files I could just move from the old folder to the new folder to make sure I don't have to do this again?
