I'm surprised by that statement. profiles.ini:

Linux:
====
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=b0nvvgxg.default
Default=1

[Profile1]
Name=test
IsRelative=1
Path=jo8w4gyg.test
====

WinXP:
====
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/glm980i1.default
====

In both cases the 'Path=' is generic. If the profile is moved, all files
will be moved (including) profile.ini. The issue will be in prefs.js as
that file will have references to the old profile location. prefs.js can
easily be edited with a text editor to reflect the new profile location
(I move/copy my linux profiles to my WinXP virtual machines all the time).
