Your profile is stored in a folder named default/xxxxxxxx.slt where default is the name of your profile and xxxxxxxx are random numbers (for privacy)

On Windows XP, this can be found under:

C:\Documents and Settings\'Your Name'\Application
Data\Phoenix\Profiles\

Note: The Application Data folder is "hidden" by default on Windows 2k/XP; you need to either set your computer to view hidden files (in Control Panel->Folder Options->View->Show Hidden Folders, or go to Start->Run->%AppData%

On Windows 98 and ME, this is found under:

C:\Windows\Application Data\Phoenix\Profiles\

On Mac OS X, this is found under:

/Users/Your Name/Library/Phoenix/Profiles/

On Linux, it is found in .phoenix in your home directory.

You can change the location of your profile, or create additional profiles, by executing Firefox with:

firefox.exe -p
