It's a bit annoying, but you can move a profile by creating a new profile, copying the contents of the old profile into the new profile location, and then deleting the older profile.

Profiles can be created by running Flock with the -profilemanager switch. In Windows, this means Start->Run, "flock.exe -profilemanager" (no quotes).

Read http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager for more info on the profile manager (including the warnings about potentially losing important data).

I can't comment on FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) as I haven't used it.
