My computer is personal. Mean it has only one user. So i don't want my browser to save something in c:\Documents and Settings\. Is there any way to change default path to bookmarks, cookies, history, settings, addons, passwords and so on?

The case for me would be if Firefox saves everything in its folder (D:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)

PS Sorry for my English.

Hello Vadim.

I can clearly understand what you want, and although I don't have an answer for your question ("Is there any way to change default path to bookmarks, cookies, history, settings, addons, passwords and so on?"), I can show you something that will solve your problem: Portable Firefox. It's a modified version of Firefox (totally compatible in 99,9% of the cases) that will store your whole Firefox into a specified folder, so you can have it stored wherever you want (yes, including the profile folder), be it your Program Files folder, or a pen drive. It's a very handy little distribution that is updated almost as fast as the normal Firefox (like a day or two after, in most cases).

If you need help setting it up (it's very easy, in any case), you should use their support section. Using your own Firefox profile in Firefox Portable should be no problem too.
