Possible to install TB on an external SSD?
Is it possible to install TB (or at least the profiles) onto an external SSD (i.e., not the C: drive)? If so, how?
Note: this is not about migration/backup/recovery of profiles.
Windows 11 is consuming nearly all of the C: drive. I badly need to get TB (and Firerfox) onto my E: drive. I further note that the installer gives no options whatsoever as to the destination drive.
I've read everything I could find here and all of that is about using an external drive as a backup. Most of the other help I've found on the web is clearly outdated.
Thanks. jt

Wayne, thank you very much.
Can I presume from your response that I can move the profile (which is the vast majority of the space required: >8GB), but not the TB program files (~250MB)?
James' response on the related question for Firefox can be found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1449842 , which appears to allow me to do that by using the MSI.
I note that there is a TB MSI installer here: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/download/ . Would that allow me the same capability? If so, I repeat the question on the other thread: will the automatic update function put the updates in the correct place?
Just to jump in here, the install offers the option of installing on any drive. And auto updates are applied there. If thunderbird is installed on C drive, the easy way to create profile on another drive is to define a folder on the other drive, then click help>troubleshootinginformation, scroll to 'profiles', click 'about:profile', then click the 'create profile' button, click next, enter a name, such as 'PROFILE', then click the 'choose' button to locate the folder you created on the other drive and make that your default. You can also move the profile to another drive from the drive that Thunderbird is on. I'm not sure which approach you want.
