We are trying to use Firefox & Thunderbird on our networked computers. we have Linux server using Samba for the windows file share. We would like to be able to allow users to access their Firefox and Thunderbird account and saved data when logon between the various Pc's some of the pc use windows7 some use windowsXP. Between win7 to win7 is OK. Between winxp to winxp is OK but win7 to xp or Xp to win7 the data is not able to save in the same location. windows 7 will open Firefox as a new install and create a new account.

I found the best way to handle using the program between networked computers is to use extension arguments. Simply. Install the program as administrator BUT do not let it start when installed.

Then edit the properties of the desktop icon so that it has properties so that you run firefox with command line arguments (www.kb.mozillazine.org/command_line_arguments)

Thus if your desktop icon on each Pc is firefox.exe -profile "h:\firefox\profile" Firefox when started with this desktop icon will always use the profile on the server drive H Once this is completed you can run the program and it will create the profile in the selected drive location. if you delete the profile it will create another in the same location.

This also works for Mozilla Thunderbird.

Hope this helps anyone that had the same problem as me.
