Upgraded to ver. 35, not can't access my Profile on a different disk
Hi Folks. I have been trying to figure this out for 3 weeks without success. I hope there's someone out there that can assist.
My Firefox is located on D:, but, I have my Profile on E: ( I like it that way for reasons that aren't important). All worked fine until I upgraded to Ver. 35 (from 32). When upgrading, version 35 sets my Profile folder on drive D: , but I need for Firefox to point to drive E: where it is actually located. I've read about how to relocate the Profile folder, but, can't get it to work for me, for some reason. Does anyone have a simple solution? Thanks.

Open the profiles manager. Help it to find that profile.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles Windows: 32-bit C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p 64-bit C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p Mac: Navigate to /Applications/Utilities. Open the Terminal application. In the Terminal application, enter the following: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p Linux: In Terminal run: firefox –P For users who have one or more builds from mozilla.org this will not work. It would be best to have the full path so if you had placed the untared contents in a folder in /home it would be /home/<username>/foldername/firefox/firefox –P An easy way would be not to do it in a terminal but in say a launcher since you have to point it to the firefox script in Firefox folder you can then add –P on end. You can also have the exact "profilename" after the -P so Firefox will start with that Profile.
