Google Gears with Portable Firefox

I have discovered (here) how to make Google Gears portable with Portable Firefox:

1. Install Google Gears to your local machine.
2. Create a folder named {000a9d1c-beef-4f90-9363-039d445309b8} under the extensions folder where your instance of FireFox portable is installed (e.g. \FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\extensions or \FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\extensions\) (Reader Drakkim pointed out that: \FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\extensions should be used instead since the App path is deleted on upgrade see his comment below).
   
3. Copy the contents of the Gears Firefox files (probably here: c:\program files\google\google gears\Firefox to the folder you created.
4. Uninstall Google Gears from the local machine (Unless, of course, you want to have it installed on that system.
5. Restart Firefox if it is running.

or

• You can go to the Addons dialog in FireFox (under the Tools menu) and click on Google Gears and choose Uninstall.

Update: Reader Drakkim pointed out that \FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\extensions should be used instead since the App path is deleted on upgrade. I have updated the instructions to reflect this, please see his comment below.

Update: Currently Google Gears does not work with FireFox 3.1b3 (or apparently with any of the 3.1 beta versions).
