When I open up Firefox I overload my profile. I unistalled it and reinstalled on my external hard drive. when I open up Firefox it recreated the folderAny ideas how to change the setting so this folder is in my hard drive
most of the information is in my question. My profile space on my home computer is limited. I would like to set up Firefox so it places the profile and all other information on my external hard drive. I have tried all of the optional settings, but have not been able to solve the problem

You can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and click the Choose button to set the location of that profile on the other drive. You need to specify a new (empty) location for that profile because Firefox uses the specified location and doesn't create a new folder. This allows you to specify an already existing profile on that drive and Firefox will use it.

Thank you very much. This has been bothering me for a long time, but with the upgrade to 4.0 it made things intolerable. I appreciate your help.
