Firefox saves your personal information such as bookmarks, passwords, and user preferences in a set of files called your Profile, which is stored in a separate location from the Firefox program files. You can have multiple Firefox profiles, each containing a separate set of user information. The Profile Manager allows you to create, remove, rename, and switch profiles.

Firefox saves your personal information such as bookmarks, passwords, and user preferences in a set of files called your [[Profiles|profile]], which is stored in a separate location from the Firefox program files. You can have multiple Firefox profiles, each containing a separate set of user information. The Profile Manager allows you to create, remove, rename, and switch profiles. {note}'''Note:''' Using multiple profiles and profile management are advanced features intended primarily for extension developers. Unless you are an advanced user, or are troubleshooting a specific problem with Firefox, you should avoid using multiple profiles.{/note} __TOC__ = Starting the Profile Manager = {note}'''Important:''' Before you can start the Profile Manager, Firefox must be completely closed.{/note} {for win} # [[T:closeFirefox]] # Press {key _{[[Image:Windows Key]]}+R} (click the Windows {button Start} button and select {menu Run...} on Windows XP). # In the Run dialog box, type in:<br><code>firefox.exe -p</code> # Click {button OK}. {note}'''Note:''' If the Profile Manager window does not appear, you may need to specify the full path of the Firefox program, enclosed in quotes; for example: * On 32-bit Windows: <code>"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p</code> * On 64-bit Windows: <code>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p</code>{/note} {/for} {for mac} # [[T:closeFirefox]] # Navigate to {filepath /Applications/Utilities}.

Select this option to allow Firefox to load the selected profile without prompting at startup. * To access other profiles after selecting this option, you must start the Profile Manager first. = Moving a profile = To copy all of your Firefox data and settings to another Firefox installation (e.g. when you get a new computer), you need to make a backup of your Firefox profile, then restore it in your new location. * For instructions, see [[Backing up your information]]. = Recovering information from an old profile = If you have important information from an old Firefox profile, such as bookmarks, passwords, or user preferences, you can transfer that information to a new Firefox profile by copying the associated files. *For instructions, see [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
