I am the main user of my computer at work. However, other people use it too (unfortunately with my same login! not ideal but I don't have a choice).

I'd like to use Firefox as my main browser but want my settings to be my own private settings - including bookmarks and history. I'm not talking about private browsing as I'd like to be able to return to sites and history without having everything 'forgotten' on my behalf.

I currently use a User identity on Chrome - not ideal as someone else could still select the user and have access to my bookmarks etc. (can't login/logout, only create/delete)

Is there a way to launch and login/logout of a personalized browser.

Thanks,

You could set up a second profile and have others use that profile by using the Profile Manager to set it as the default profile. If there isn't a shortcut on the desktop then others wouldn't be able to use your profile easily.

You can create this profile in a location that isn't the default. You would have to use a terminal window to start Firefox with your own profile.

There are extensions to protect the profile with a password, but extensions can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in Safe Mode (i.e hold down the Options key on Mac).
