Today my son was logged into his Windows 7 login, and tried to install the plug-in from PageRage.com which adds to his Firefox (8.0.1). When it restarted his Firefox browser it opened my Firefox instead, with my tabs, bookmarks, persona, everything. The plug-in shows up in my add-on on my Firefox. I closed it and reopened Firefox from his quick launch button and his opened up, but the add-on was not there. How can I stop my Firefox from opening on other users on my computer, and keep his add-ons on his Firefox?

Are you using the same Windows account?

Are you using the profile manager to start Firefox with a specific profile or do you use desktop shortcuts to start Firefox with a specific profile?

In that case Firefox may have opened the profile that is selected as the last used profile in the Profiles Manager (profiles.ini -> Default=1)
