According to the release notes
(http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/ under "Changes You Should
Be Aware Of - Profile Folder") then Firefox stores user data under Documents
and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
Firstly, strictly speaking you should store user data under %USERPROFILE%
\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox so that the location of the profile can be
specified as a part of the users' environment.
Secondly, you should only store permanent data in this location, not temporary
data, such as the cache. Temporary data, in particular the cache, should be
stored under %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
This is in particular important on networks where users have roaming
profiles. Copying the cache back and forth between different computers serves
no purpose and creates delays during log-in and log-off that users find
unacceptable.
