can I redirect where firefox stores the data (bookmarks, cookies, etc...)

I am currently using a product called Deep Freeze on my desk that resets the computer on the setting "frozen" to reboot. The issue I'm having is that I can't remember bookmarks, history, cookies and other data when browsing with Firefox. I was able to redirect IE but can't seem to find a way to do that easily with Firefox.

You can do this by creating a new profile and choose a custom for the profile folder location.

To create a new profile to follow the instructions in the article create a new profile for Firefox on Windows , but in last step, you click on the button Choose a folder to specify where the profile is kept.

A warning regarding where you create this profile folder.

(Copied from the mozillazine knowledge base) A profile folder is not automatically created when you choose the location of the folder to your new Firefox profile. Any file you select becomes the profile folder. If you want to choose a location for your new profile, do not select a folder that contains existing data. You must create an empty folder (preferably with the same name as the new profile) and then select that folder in the Profile Wizard. Note: If your operating system does not provide a "New folder" button in the Profile Wizard, you must manually create the new folder.

If the folder that you select for the new profile contains files non-Mozilla (for example "my documents" on Windows), your profile data will be be mixed with non-Mozilla data. This can result in the loss of all the data in this file, including the non-Mozilla files, if you subsequently delete the profile.

For more information about the Profile Manager and using profiles see Profile Manager - MozillaZine Knowledge Base and use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox.

  • How can I change where firefox stores the logs?

    I run 'Fox on a flash drive, because it allows me to keep my history, bookmarks, etc. all together while using ' Fox on several different computers.

    I learned recently that Firefox was leaving newspapers on the hard drives of each computer, that I ran it, even from the flash drive. It is a bad idea to several points of view, including privacy and security, so I want to configure my software to write all these newspapers directly in the flash player that I run on, nothing is placed on the computer HARD disk.

    How can I do this? For completeness, the path where Firefox is writing information looks something like one of the following:

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Mozilla
    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla

  • Where Firefox stores the images as wallpaper?

    Where Firefox stores the images as wallpaper? I was playing around with windows theme and I can not find the wallpaper that was displayed before.

    According to me, the question that arises is, "where Firefox stores a picture that I have a right click and choose «Set as wallpaper...»» » »

    I have not changed my background in over a year, and I use Windows XP, so maybe this isn't true for the new versions of Firefox or Windows, but I found my background image under "\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Desktop Background.bmp C:\Documents and Settings\current user." Of course, replace the current user with your Windows user name.

  • Is there a file where are stored the data pause & rewind live TV in Windows Media Center?

    Is there a file where are stored the data pause & rewind live TV in Windows Media Center? More to the point - how can I save the time shift buffer in WMC?

    I would like to know if it is possible to find the data that Windows Media Center is to store during her watch TV Online. I don't speak data WMC stores by itself to allow the use of the function of pause & rewind live TV, how to find files that you have saved yourself by pressing the Red record button.

    For example, I often live TV playing on the computer in the background while I do something else. Can I see or hear a brief fact/clip/segment of interest that flashes by and I think, ' I wish I had recorded that. " If I go back to the bit I wanted to capture and hit record, it will not capture the part I want, it will start recording from the point, the program has achieved in real time.

    Does anyone know where the actual data of the TV are kept so that I can retrieve these clips that interest me, but were never recorded by me manually? I found the "TempRec" in the folder "Recorded TV" - anyone know how to convert this video (if indeed it is the location where you store temporary data for pause & rewind live TV)?

    If not, is it possible to enable a feature in WMC, which automatically starts the recording of TV channels as soon as you go to them? This way I can record everything, then just cut all the scenes of interest using Movie Maker. If not, are there other Win7 compatible programs that will do this?

    Thank you.

    Apparently, there is a way to achieve the goal.

    A nice gentleman from the Germany wrote dll that create a "time-shift buffer recording" add-in for WindowsMedia Center (for Vista and XP only) which can be found at:

    http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/p/3...83.aspx#162083

    For Windows 7, there would currently be via a 3rd party of program, i.e. PowerCinema 6, which records from any point in the time shift buffer zone - I don't know why Microsoft has not also incorporated this feature into WMC for have other programs third 3rd (including EyeTV for the Mac).

    Unfortunately, suggestions from another forum to change file extensions in .tmp .dvr-ms TempSBE and double-click on the file to read the file of time lag in WMC, does not work in Windows 7 x 64 (the message in this forum has been regarding the Vista x 64), however, I have not tried with other versions of Windows - I would like to know if anyone has had some luck using this method.

    Even if it had worked, I think I would have always preferred the usability and features of a program that does the job for me, like Power Cinema - damage, it could not have been WMC. What do you think?

    Thank you.

  • Where Win7 stores the Windows Virtual PC &#62; XP Mode &#62; XPMUser "My Documents" to access if the virtual XP becomes inaccessible?

    Lost all files in XP mode is "My Docs" XPMUser because I can't connect? Same situation. Where Win7 stores the Windows Virtual PC > XP Mode > XPMUser "My Documents" to access if the virtual XP instance become inaccessible? Like many here, I have activated integration and where then asked for a password on the next reboot of the XP Mode. The password that I usually use has not been accepted. I tried all the possible solutions (have "integration" disabled, start with virtual XP safe mode), but not able to change my password XPmode so don't chance NO connection.  I have brand new instance of XP Mode works, but obviously does not have access to the CASE of XP Mode instance. My question is simple: where are the files that I created and saved in the default location of the first modes XP XPMUser "My Documents" in Windows 7? I tried Win7 for XP 'My documents' files by names or names of game but no luck.  Help, please.

    It is located in the file XP Mode VHD (Virtual Hard Drive), you can look as pretty as a ZIP file that contains a structure of entire disk rather than just a few files.  This VHD file is usually stored in your user folder in a folder of Virtual Machines, for example mine was in the C:\Users\SKeene\Virtual Machines.

    And it's my cheesy guilty pleasure wishes to inform you that you can browse this file as if it were a hard drive, without having to start the XP mode.  However, security applies: If your 'My documents' has been limited, it might be difficult to access (even if you pouvez be able to take possession of the file and gain access).
    Here's how:
    1. Open the Start Menu, right-click on computer and select manage. In the maintenance window of the computer that opens, choose "disk management".
    2. On the right side, click "More action" and then click "Attach VHD" and select your XP Mode VHD file.  You might consider making a backup of the file copy of the hard drive virtual before do you it, just in case!
    3. Once you have connected the virtual hard drive, an Autorun dialog box may appear.  If this is not the case, simply click on Start/computer to see your new 'Local disk '.
    At least, I can confirm that it worked perfectly for me, and I had access to my account "User XPMode" alongwith without problem.

  • AT100 - impossible to get my calendar to store the dates of the annual events

    Hello.

    Cannot get my calendar to store the dates of the annual events birthdays for example.
    Option gives (annual 27 July 2012), but would it be fair (27 July each year). No way to remove year so presumably won't wait that 2012 will come along! All the other choices for weekly and monthly do not specify the year.

    Annual option should I think be the same. Tried to enter next year, but comes with (year July 27, 2013) so it looks that have to enter every year which is a pain. Someone at - it ideas.
