Firefox profiles data storage

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew if firefox profiles are simply stored locally on my computer or if it is stored on the cloud on the firefox network.

Thank you, Nico

Locally. You can send some data to the cloud by using the Firefox Sync service if you like, but it's only a subset of what is stored locally. See: How do I set up Sync on my computer?.

Some Firefox performance data may be sent to Mozilla. To control that, see:

Am I missing anything?

That is very helpful! Thank you.

In this case we are using "Clippings" the AE Creations plug-in. As the default method is to store it on our Firefox Profiles. Would it make a difference if we simply stored it on another Data Source Location such as our C drive?

I don't understand what you mean by this question:

The extension does allow you use a different local disk location. I'm not sure that has any effect on your cloud question, though.
