That is because you either put them there or allowed them to be put
there. If you are going to invoke SET MOZILLA_HOME-H:\PROFILE then
your tree should be:

H:\PROFILE\SMPROFILE1
H:\PROFILE\SMPROFILE2
H:\PROFILE\FFPROFILE1
H:\PROFILE\FFPROFILE2
H:\PROFILE\TBPROFILE1
H:\PROFILE\TBPROFILE2

or some such. That way all programs will look in the same place for
their profiles. Profiles, programs, bookmarks, mail and news can all
be put anywhere you want them.
