Good point Chris! I've forgotten, that there is such a file, when using
profiles.

Btw. they are formated like this:

spinymouse at precise:~$ ls -l /mnt/archlinux/home/spinymouse/.mozilla/firefox
total 8
lrwxrwxrwx  1 spinymouse users   18 Dec 13  2011 archfox -> /mnt/data2/archfox
drwx------ 13 spinymouse users 4096 Oct 31 15:11 ndos9d6q.default
-rw-r--r--  1 spinymouse users  143 Apr 18  2012 profiles.ini
spinymouse at precise:~$ cat /mnt/archlinux/home/spinymouse/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
