85022 - Import Netscape 4.77 profile to non-Program Files

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 60734

(MailNews Core :: Profile Migration, enhancement)

I don't keep my mail and bookmarks on drive C. I have a separate data drive
which is backed up. There is currently no way I can import my old Netscape
profile to anything but Program Files on drive C!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Delete profile or start Mozilla for 1st time
2. Import Profile from Netcape 4.x
3. Just try storing that profile where you want it!

Actual Results:  Profile ends up in Program Files.

Expected Results:  I want to be able to choose where profile is stored.

It would also be useful to have a "Move profile" function. Also some choice as
to what to import, Bookmarks, Mail folders, Accounts, etc.
On Netscape I could just create a dummy profile and overwrite it's contents with
the one I wanted but Mozilla adds an extra layer of complexity with a weird
serial-number directory and simply overwriting the files does not seem to have
the expected results.
