If you don't see or understand the warning and its unspoken implications for cross-browser use, don't even think of creating a custom location. You could lose data even if you're only using one browser. If you must, create a new profile for each, but keep them separate, and DO NOT CREATE A CUSTOM LOCATION for any profile unless you fully understand the warning in the Knowledge Base. Personally I wouldn't run them in any case, since any possible gains are dubious. It would be extremely easy to lose all your data. One little side effect is that if you use one program to delete data (either through uninstallation or profile maintenance), you could lose data in the others. If you don't have explicit assurance of profile safety from them, I would not run those other programs. There may be a safe way of doing that using symlinks, but it's up to them to do that if they haven't. They're trying to get you to switch back and forth so you can use the same data.

Google Chrome doesn't mess with Firefox, and neither should these others. Under no circumstances should they be in a position to write or delete anything in the Firefox profile. They're separate programs, and should have separate user data. Mgagnonlv wrote:By default, Waterfox uses the same profile as Firefox. One added advantage: both Pale Moon and Firefox can run at the same time without problem, and without any round-about procedure. So there is no danger of inter-corruption. Anyway, it means that once Pale Moon is installed and configured, you will have two independent programs, each using their own profile. The developer also offers a utility to copy your Firefox profile to Pale Moon, and of course, you could manually copy your Firefox profile on top of your newly-created Pale Moon profile. On the other hand, Pale Moon is different. There is a discussion on the Cyberfox forum to eventually use a different profile for Cyberfox. It would be a bit the same with Cyberfox, albeit to a lesser extent, because the cyberfox developer is very quick on updates, so versions should be similar. Right now, Firefox is at version 25, going on 26, whereas Waterfox is at 24 and probably staying there for a few months (if past experience continues). In any case, I would certainly avoid moving back and forth between Firefox (32-bit) and Waterfox (64-bit), because you will be going through compatibility checking and maybe raise database compatibility issues each time you change from one browser to the other.
#Waterfox profile location install
I am not sure if, when you install it, you may select "advanced" options and create a new profile otherwise, make a copy of your Firefox profile just in case. You are under no obligation to use the default search - but if you like what Waterfox does and want to support the project, please consider using it.By default, Waterfox uses the same profile as Firefox. If you search with it, Waterfox gets a share of the revenue. That is, the default search on Waterfox is monetised. Who owns Waterfox? System1 now own Waterfox, but Alex Kontos is still leading the direction of Waterfox and will be for the foreseeable future. We don't want the web powered by only two engines - so we support the third to keep it independent! 5. Most web browsers are powered by Blink or WebKit, but we've chosen to use the technology that better supports our goals.
