Firefox will automatically place the Firefox Profile folders on the same drive as the operating system in \user\user-name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ and \Local\ - no way around that. But you can use the Profile Manager to create a 2nd Profile on the drive of your choice and use that 2nd Profile all the time; just don't use the original Profile that Firefox created upon installation. Note that when you move the Profile from the default location, both the \Roaming\ and the \Local\ folders will be combined in the "new" location.

Further information is posted here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2821799 The title of that thread differs from what you want to do, but the "drill" is the same. Also, at the bottom of that thread are links to 4 earlier threads about "playing with" Firefox Profiles for a variety of different purposes, but the information can be a bit overwhelming for casual Firefox users.
Then its possiable its due to this update that made me remove it is doing this when there is no space to crate that small thing. I will have to try and make a \user\user-name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ under F drive and try it that way to see if that gets arround this issue
Ok made this as the file path during installastion F:/ProgramFilesX86/firefoxtest/user/*Coursemyprofilesname*/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/ and it installed fine when it didn't work before so if anyone has a simular issue, Please use that file path to get arround the issue, Thank you for your time
The Firefox program files location upon installation have nothing to do with where the Firefox Profile is located. Firefox will put the Profile files on the drive with the Operating System at \AppData\Roaming & \AppData\Local\ upon installation regardless of where you install Firefox - the user needs to move the Profile - you have to move it yourself either via the Profile Manager or manually create the Profile and launch the Profile via command line.
What's the deal with your having an SSD?? Too small? Or an "old wives tale" from 10 years ago about early SSD's wearing out prematurely?
