Relocate favorites folder IE and Firefox

When you install Firefox, IE or Google Chrome on our PCs, they automatically create default profiles for your browser.
This folder contains all the information related to the browser: For firefox (bookmarks, browsing history, extensions installed, etc..), IE (favorite), etc. The drawback of this folder is located on the partition where the operating system. If for any problems we could not access the operating system, would lose all this information.
To avoid this data loss (which in many cases are valuable) modify the storage place for all these markers, so we must take into account the browser you use:

I. - FOR FIREFOX

1. MOVING favorites folder:
   • First of all we must show hidden files, this depends on the system operation in which we find:
   1. In Xp is simple: Open any folder → Tools → Folder Options → We go to the View tab and select the option of viewing , folders and drives hidden.
   2. Windows Vista and Windows 7 : not bring the default toolbar so we will open any folder to organize → Design and we check the menu bar and make the above.
   3. For Linux: is something similar, open the folder Home → we go to View → and activate the option to view hidden folders.
   • Now let's move the contents of the default folder to a new location we have created:
   1. For XP: C: \\ Documents and Settings \\ NOMBRE_DE_USUARIO \\ ApplicationData \\ Mozilla \\ Firefox \\ Profiles
   2. For Windows Vista y 7 : C: \\ users \\ NOMBRE_DE_USUARIO \\ ApplicationData \\ Local \\ Mozilla \\ Firefox \\ Profiles
   3. For Linux: / home / NOMBRE_DE_USUARIO / mozilla / firefox /
   • In this folder you will find a folder named: xxxx.default; is this folder that we will move as this represents the default Firefox profile created at the time of installation (copy this folder to a new address.)
2. CREATING A NEW PROFILE:
   • We make sure to close all Firefox windows (for it opened the task manager), go to the Processes tab and look for those firefox.exe processes say we select and click End Process .
   • Now we must open the profile editor, for which there are several options depending on the operating system on which we meet:
   1. For XP: Menu → Start → Run → firefox.exe - profilemanager (two "-" before profilemanager)
   2. For Windows Vista and Windows 7: In the search bar menu write start firefox.exe - profilemanager
   3. For any distro of Linux: → Open the terminal firefox - profilemanager
   • We will get this window:
   • is where we create a profile, for they do click Create Profile and we will get a window in which we give next.
   • Then post the name of our profile, we choose the location of our folder (The one we chose in the previous step) and we click finish:
   • done this and have our profile created:
