[FireFox] Firefox > Waterfox & SSD

I'm redoing my PC, including replacing the 32-bit Win7 w/ the x64. So, can I transfer a profile from Firefox to Waterfox? Also, since I'm going to use a SSD for the OS, can I put the cache on the secondary standard HDD?

As a Waterfox user, I do know that the profile is exactly the same between Firefox and Waterfox. In fact its in the same directory location, which should be something like

C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profilename

If you were to copy the data contained in the profilename directory, and drop it into the new location created by the Waterfox install, it should work without any issues.

As far as putting that on a different drive, I think there is ways to change where the profile is actually stored...I don't know how to change that, but I remember seeing a post that talked about changing the physical location of where your firefox / waterfox profile is stored. So, I think that should be able to be done as well.
