W7 \64 bit\FF42.0\How do I move profiles?
Everything appears to be working perfectly. But I understood I should be able to find how to move my profile to a different drive on my computer somewhere in the profile itself. I have looked everywhere I can think of and can't find that info. If you can tell me where it is, maybe I can manage. But failing that, can you tell me how to move the profiles? My system os is Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. I am running Firefox 42.0. Your educated guesses are all correct except that I am unsure about the Adobe plugin. Thank you for any help.

You can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile folder on another hard drive by clicking the "Choose Folder" button. Make sure to select a new and empty folder and not a folder that already contains files.
You can transfer files from the current profile folder to that folder.

For information on creating a backup of your profile folder, please refer to this Mozilla support article:
Open the profile folder on the computer. Copy the profile(s) you want to a thumb drive.
