Due to company restrictions where I currently work, My windows users folder %USERPROFILE%
is space restricted.
I get a warning that I must delete files before I can log off.
Because of that, I have moved everything else out of my profile folder (maven repository, IntelliJ configuration & cache).
I need to tell Firefox to put userprofiles somewhere else on my machine (like for instance C:\ff_profiles\
). How do I do that?
Update
Thanks to answer by harrymc, i found the information on how to tweak the file profiles.ini
. Here are the exact steps I used:
Go to folder %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
Move your profile data folder (randomly named: 0uq81z89.default) to c:\firefox_profiles\
Edit %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini
to point at new location:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=0
Path=C:\bin\firefox_profiles\0uq81z89.default
This works like a charm. Thanks everybody for contributing with answers
