I do have them in a separate directory tree, pointed to by the
MOZILLA_HOME environment variable. I have been doing that for several years.

This whole situation arose from a boot drive crash on my main system

a new ThinkPad! I had e-mail stored on all 3 systems, and am just now
getting it merged back together.

Thanks!
