I have moved all my personal information into the cloud. I use DropBox, which leaves a copy of the data on my hardrive that mirrors the data in my Dropbox account. I want to have my bookmarks there as well and I want my Firefox to open from those bookmarks rather than the default ones in my user profile. I can change where the bookmarks are kept in IE, but can't find this option in Firefox.

Sorry, you can't move the bookmarks file out of your Profile folder, you would have to move the entire Profile folder.

Thanks. Hmm. Hadn't thought of that. So I could drag my entire User folder into my Dropbox and Firefox would automatically find the bookmarks there? Or do I need to redirect something to the new profile location?
