Can't make firefox store my profiles in a folder inside its own

Firefox Ustawienia

Title sums up most of it. I want Firefox to store my profiles in a folder inside its own. but I can't. there is no user.js, location cannot be changed from within FF about:profiles nor any of its other "about" pages (WTF?) and the Wizard removes the folder immediately as I start to type a name for the Profile.

The Firefox is a brand new installation that I'm trying to turn Portable, so I did not install or save anything yet.

You can store profile folders outside of the usual path. However, Firefox will still find them by checking the installs.ini and profiles.ini files within the usual path.

I don't know how PortableApps creates self-contained Firefox installations. Perhaps you can use their techniques?
