Reopening. Not fixed in 1.0 Preview "Greenlane" release notes dated Oct 12. Firefox now stores your user data in one of the following locations: Windows Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
dont use Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\ on windows. this string is language dependend. I highly suggest using %APPDATA% instead witch points to the right folder on my PC its C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\<Name>\Anwendungsdaten but i could move this folder to any place else if i want it sometimes its on winnt\Profiles\... (at least on NT4)

We'll try to make this better but it won't block the release.
