hello Krupakar , you can use the profile manager in order to create a new profile at a custom location. more information is available at Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles.

Be aware the the profile folder should always point to a folder that isn't used otherwise or you may end up with losing all files in it.
It is best to leave the Firefox profile folder in its default location unless there are space considerations on the Windows system drive.
