Hi..I think I am nearly there .... But I think I am not doing the changes to
the Profiles.ini file properly in notepad..anyway heres what I have now??

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/juwjj67y.default

AS Per the Instructions 1,2,3,4,5.

I created a newprofile folder WITHIN the existing profile folder ...and
named it newprofile...I copy/ pasted ALL the files from my previous Profile
folder (prior to my reinstall) into the newprofile folder.....I created....

I then found the profiles.ini file ...opened it in notepad and tryed to make
the changes as stipulated in 4 (below) ....but as you can see wjen i started
/restarted Firefox mozilla the profiles.ini file (when read in notepad )
showed what is above at start of my postings......

I would be sincerely grateful if someone could just put me right here ....IS
the procedure I have done right and if it is it must have something to do
with my changing of the ini file in notepad which was

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=newprofile

IsRelative=0

Path=Profiles/newprofile

Thanks for any help ..Ron NZ.

1. Create a new, empty folder in the desired profile location with the name
you wish to use for the new profile, for example,
D:\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\newprofile

2. Copy the entire contents of the profile folder you are moving into the
new profile folder you just created.

3. If you copied the old profile from a CD, remove the write-protection from
the copied files.

4. Find the profiles.ini file (it will be located in the Firefox or
Thunderbird default profile folder path) and open it in a text editor.

* (Optional) Change the "Name=" line to the name of the new profile folder
you created, e.g., Name=newprofile

* Change "IsRelative=1" to "IsRelative=0"

* Change the "Path=" line to the actual location of the new profile folder,
e.g., Path=D:\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\newprofile.

5. If you are moving a profile from its default location, the original
profile folder can now be removed.
