how do I keep my profile on C drive as I'm runnig it off my dvd player?
I re installed win10 and firefox and saved my profile to a cd I tried to create my profile off the cd but I did something wrong because now my profile goes away and firefox won't run when I eject the cd from the player

Ain't gonna work with the Profile on the hard drive and Firefox located on a CD.
What is the end result you want to achieve?
hey ed thanks for the reply, firefox is on the HD and the profile is on a cd
Naw, that ain't gonna work. The Profile needs "write" ability and even a 'burner,' or other removal media just ain't gonna hack it.
What are you trying to achieve by moving the Profile away from the default location in AppData > Roaming?
You can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile.
You can copy files like these to the current Firefox profile folder to recover specific data.
- bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
- bookmark backups: JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
- SQLite files like cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
- logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
- cert8.db and possibly cert_override.txt for (intermediate) certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
- persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
- permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other Site Preferences
- sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs and tab groups
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Directory:
Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
