No I should have clarified I mean where is the firefox setting for that information PRIOR to installation.

Do you mean, where in the program code of Firefox does it instruct Firefox to use

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox

as the base folder for user profile data on Windows? Interesting question. No idea.

Yeah, its kinda hard to navigate 800,000 files with close to zero documentation.

I only found one reference to it in nsWindowsShellService.cpp

Also notable that the install log contains nothing about creation of a profile folder.

I think it is in this file. selectStartupProfile()
