I would like to be able to move the location that firefox saves my bookmarks? In my case I need to locate my bookmarks only to a drive that is not "frozen"
I am running a program called Faronics Deep Freeze and It freezes the state of my systems against viruses and malware ect. however I have a "thawed" Drive and I would like to be able to tell Firefox to save my bookmarks on the Thawed drive. (d:\) This should be an easy tweek but I can't find it. Please help.

All your personal data is always located in the Firefox profile folder, so you would have to create a profile folder on the other drive and use that folder instead of a profile folder in the default location on the C drive. You will have to launch that profile via a direct link if deep freeze is also removes the profiles.ini file.
This is not the question asked - I know that I can move the entire profile into the thawed space. I want to move the bookmarks only, the rest of the profile can stay frozen.
That is not possible. All your personal data is always in the currently used profile folder and you can't store the bookmarks in another location.
Firefox 2.0 was the last version that allowed the user to move the bookmarks.html file out of the Profile folder. Firefox 3.0 and later use a combined bookmarks & history file (places.sqlite) which stays with the Profile folder - can't be moved elsewhere by itself - IOW, out of the Profile folder.
