How to change .mozilla directory

Is there anyway we can tell Firefox where to create the .mozilla directory?

The problem I ma facing right now is, I am running an application (Selenium for UI testing to be specific) that fires off a firefox instance. The application has to run at the root level, by a user that does not have permission to create the .mozilla directory... :( I'd like to see if there is anything I can do, maybe like setting an environment variable to tell Firefox to create the .mozilla directory somewhere other than /?

Thank you in advance!
