There are some add-ons and utilities that can be used to copy the profile folder (location where user data is stored). The first one is the FEBE add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ad.../febe/) which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free MozBackup utility (http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/)
