Welcome to the Forum, pinceau!

pinceau,

The Bookmarks can be moved to any location by adding this setting in about:config:

browser.bookmarks.file with this value:
D:\yourfolderlocation\bookmarks.html

If you've never done any editing in about:config, here's how:

In the Location Bar type: about:config
When the page opens right click anyplace on the page
Select: New | String
In the new string value window enter the preference name:
browser.bookmarks.file

In the browser.bookmarks.file field, enter: D:\yourfolderlocation\bookmarks.html

The Address Book cannot be moved from the salted (*.slt) folder.

Here's a rule of thumb when adding unlisted preferences in about:config:

Select "String" if the value is textual
Select "Integer" if the value is numerical
Select "Boolean" if the value is true or false.
