The firefox personal per-user stuff is in

/home/your-user-name/.mozilla/firefox/***.default

where *** could be various strings of numbers and letters.

Note the "dot" in front of .mozilla - your home directory has a lot of
"dot" files which become visible in the file manager  from View - Show
Hidden Files ( in Konqueror, which I assume is what you are using since
you are running Kubuntu)

Alternatively, in a terminal you can see them with for example

ls -al .mozilla

Usually each app has such a "hidden" directory or file for per-user
configuration settings, or under directories like .gnome2 etc (again note
the dot)
