    Firefox question

    I was wondering if there is any way to change the directory where firefox stores its configuration files, its bookmarks, cache, cookies, etc? I was not able to find this option in about:config. Thanks.

    I believe that this data is associated with the profile. When you create a profile, it assigns a directory.

    Unfortunately, I do not know if there is a way to change this directory...

    What are you trying to do? If you just want to fix the system so that all users share the same profile, them maybe it's possible to copy one of the config directories to somewhere world-readable and symlink to it from everyone's home directory?

    Where you type the URLs, type "about: config". Look there, you might find something.
