I would like to change the destination location for the urlcassifier3.sqlite file, so it saves to the computer instead of the user profile. How?
urlclassifier3.sqlite is huge and eats up my profile space on my user account. Is there anyway to change the location this file saves to?

Unless you are using a non-default Profile location, that file isn't even in your actual Profile folder. It is in a secondary "profile" folder under Local Settings\App Data, instead App Data\Roaming. Or something like that, I use WinXP on my Windows partition. If you have relocated your Profile folder, all the files from "Local Settings" will end up in the relocated Profile folder.
As far as moving it - sorry, the developers didn't provide a preference that can be modified to be able to move that specific file; there isn't a pref to move anything but the Cache in any version above Firefox 2.0.0.x.
The way I see it you have two options:
- Turn off the Block reported attack sites and web forgeries preferences in the Security tab in options, that service is disabled altogether, and delete that file.
- Or delete that file periodically so that is doesn't get too large, like when it reaches like maybe 35 to 40,000Kb , and let Firefox rebuild that file.
Depending on the security suite or A-V application you are using, you may have a second anti-phishing / web forgery application installed, and don't really need the default service that comes with Firefox.
I hate that damn file - I have over 40 Profiles which I use to test different add-on configurations and because I have 12 different versions of Firefox installed. I routinely turn those prefs off and delete that file in the Profiles that I rarely use for "surfing". I do have those prefs enabled on the 8 Profiles that I use on a semi-regular basis, though. My A-V program is a free version without the bells & whistles that come with the "paid" versions.
You can try a different location for the cache to see if the urlcassifier3.sqlite file is moved as well to that location.
I doubt that will happen. I have 10.a1 Profile with a relocated Cache and the urlclassifier3.sqlite file didn't follow the Cache folderset to the other logical drive. Didn't happen with 3.6 and 10.a1, so I doubt if the versions in between will do it.
