Is there a way to move the storage area for bookmarks, passwords, etc.?

In Seamonkey, using its profile manager, I could change where it stored bookmarks, passwords, and my Email. Firefox doesn't support Email, but I would like to move this data to a different disk drive than where FireFox resides or in a folder in My Documents, or on my boot drive. With Seamonkey, I store this data on a PGP encrypted virtual disk. I would like to do the same thing with FireFox. Firefox doesn't seem to have a profile manager.

Firefox does have a profile manager which works in the same way as the SeaMonkey equivalent. For details of how to access it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
