If you have the 80 GB partition mounted as /home for both OSes, Firefox
profiles should /already/ be stored there.  Could you paste the output
from df on each OS?

Also, check ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini on each OS.  They should be
identical (assuming same mountpoints on both OS), and refer to a profile
location on the shared partition.  If not, move the preferred profile to
a location on the shared partition (which should be mounted as /home)
then modify the profiles.ini files appropriately.  Do all this with
Firefox closed, and backup both profiles first. :)
