I resolved the issue creating the folder, it's not an issue there.
The problem is when using profiles.ini on Windows it moves *everything*
over to the destination. Prior it would have the cache in the
user/appdata/local dir and other bits with the bookmarks in
user/appdata/roaming. After using profile.ini it relocates everything
including the cache as I found out in small scale testing.
As an organization we do not need to backup all of the profile, the only
thing we need are the bookmarks file instead of terabytes of data in the
rest of the profile.
Windows does have ability to redirect the entire appdata/roaming
directory but the other data really have no need to be on the file server.
Surely our organization isn't the only one that wants to redirect
bookmarks only?
I am wondering if my original idea of a symlink is better, as I could
redirect the appdata/roaming/Mozilla directory without moving all the
rest of the information as well.
Has there been a feature request to be able to redirect bookmarks only
for the ESR versions?
