How do we change the default profile folder location?
I work for a university in Manhattan. We are trying to install Firefox 5 for our users but Firefox profiles are stored in the AppData folder which is a problem for us as it exceeds the user profile space.
We need a way to have Firefox create the profile elsewhere. Is anyone aware of how to do this?

You can specify the location of the profile in the Profile Manager (Choose Folder)
Be sure to specify an empty folder.
Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to offer a solution to our problem. Unfortunately, the Firefox profile information set under the administrative account does not transfer to the user accounts. Even though we created a Firefox profile set to open to a different location, when a user logs in the default profile, located in AppData, is created for them and they do not have access to the new one.
Are you aware of any way to set the profile of each user to automatically be created elsewhere? Thank you.
Take a look at the FrontMotion MSI package for Firefox:
