%APPDATA% is defined for your system hard drive (where Windows is), and won't work for other drives. So, you'll need to manually find the profile location.

%APPDATA% is defined as C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming on Windows 7.

So, if you don't know the username you had before, you'll need to look though AppData\Roaming for each user for the Firefox directory with the profile.

Also, you might need to show hidden files and folders, although that might not affect a clone of the drive.

thanks I will try this, also, could you please just lay out for me exactly what is in the profile, what does it contain of the following:

-extensions -plugins -history -settings -cookies -saved passwords

thanks

All of the above except for plugins, which are system installed.

See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#Important_files and the rest of that article.

I would like to have a user define location for the active bookmark file.

Can this be done and how?

thanks

Tungsten,

Not without relocating the entire Profile folder, the places.sqlite can't be moved out of the Profile folder.
