Request for help with CCleaner and Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird custom profile locations:
Here are the default install locations for Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird.
(On my PC, that's where they are.)
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird
Here are the default locations for their profile.ini files. (Windows 2000/XP)
(On my PC, that's where they are, and they are probably also here even if the programs were installed in custom locations.)
C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini
C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Thunderbird\profiles.ini
Here are the default locations for their profiles. (Windows 2000/XP)
C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profilename]
C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\[profilename]
But my profiles are stored in custom locations on another hard drive. These custom locations are indicated in the profiles.ini files.
L:\AdminFX\[profilename]
L:\AdminTB\[profilename]
Here are my customized profile.ini files.
IsRelative=0 means that the profiles are not stored in the default location
IsRelative=1 means that the profiles are stored in the default location
Default=1 indicates the last profile opened or used
My profiles.ini for Firefox
[General]StartWithLastProfile=0
[Profile0]
Name=Ocean
IsRelative=0
Path=L:\AdminFX\Ocean
Default=1
[Profile1]
Name=Test1
IsRelative=0
Path=L:\AdminFX\Test1
My profiles.ini for Thunderbird
[General]StartWithLastProfile=0
[Profile0]
Name=Mail
IsRelative=0
Path=L:\AdminTB\Mail
Default=1
[Profile1]
Name=News
IsRelative=0
Path=L:\AdminTB\News
Can something be written for me so that CCleaner can clean the normal Firefox/Thunderbird entries which are in winapp.ini and those in winapp2.ini?
There may be people who have installed Firefox/Thunderbird to custom locations. That would be another issue. Here are some examples.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox
C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Mozilla Thunderbird
C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Thunderbird
Note: I briefly mentioned something about this in the Suggestions thread, but this post is much more detailed.
