I've been meddling with this today. I found out that adding a directory symlink (mklink /d) of %appdata%\Mozilla to our mapped home drive on the server works. Firefox creates the profile on the home drive with no issues and I don't see any side effects from browsing this morning. Looks like the cache data is not stored there, so that's great. The issue I found is that gpsvc does not have create symlink permissions on the local workstations. So using a GPO to run a script to create these links on the first logon does not work. It looks like you can grant this permission to users if need be though GPO, but it doesn't appear gpsvc inherits the permission. So the gpsvc permission model would have to be modified on our workstations manually (as I see no way to do this centrally.) While kind of a stop-gap solution I guess it could work in our organization as we have only about 150 machines... I could modify them one at a time then deploy Firefox after that's been done. I find it interesting that you can create a new profile in about:profiles and specify a location, but there's no way to set the location of the default profiles.
