Firefox uses a file located at %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini to locate/choose a profile. That file has a specific format: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Mozilla/Automatic_Mozilla_Configurator/How_Thunderbird_and_Firefox_find_their_configuration_files You'd set a [ProfileX] section with: IsRelative=0 Path=c:\users\%username%\appdata\roaming\(wherever you want the profile to be stored) Default=1 You would be able to deploy that fleet-wide via GPO Preferences: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731332(v=ws.11).aspx The main hangup is that the are constraints in the naming of the [ProfileX] sections: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/toolkit/profile/nsToolkitProfileService.cpp#l446 Sections need to be named in a continuous numerical sequence (e.g. Profile0, Profile1, Profile2, Profile3, Profile4, etc.) and the loader will stop looking the first time it finds a Profile section with a number that isn't in use, so you can't just name the section Profile9999. If the only profile in use is the local appdata directory one, then you should be safe to override the Profile0 settings. All that said, hard-coding the username directly will lead to a pitfall when the User Profile Service on the workstation detects a profile corruption and creates a new profile directory--profiles.ini will then point to an invalid location. If going the GPO route, you can avoid that by setting Path to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\(...) . Tip: beyond the environment variables available during normal user/computer processes, GPO items can access additional variables--press F3 within the INI File Preference editor to see a reference of available variables. You'd still need to ensure that the directory you're setting as the location of the profile exists, otherwise, Firefox will throw errors and will fail to start. -- Ariel Poliak Jr. Network Administrator Network and Security Operations HostDime.com, Inc.
