How can I change where Firefox looks for its saved password/bookmark/cookie data? I'd like to move those files to an encrypted drive.

I'm using TrueCrypt to encrypt a portable hard drive. Essentially, I'd like to be able to move my profile data to that drive. Then, whenever Firefox is launched on my computer without the drive mounted, it has no bookmarks/passwords/cookies saved. When I mount the drive, I'd like to be able to tell Firefox to look on it and find the profile data automatically.

hello iffotun, you can use the profile manager to create a profile (which stores all your personal data) on the encrypted drive...
