I recently set up an ex-Win10 PC as a Linux media player and was delighted it came with Firefox. I created a separate profile on my Win11 PC for use on the media PC. In this profile I have a few stored bookmarks, log on IDs * passwords, for sites such as BBC iplayer etc.

I did eventually manage to load it on the media PC but when I went back to my Win11 PC I couldn't find my original Firefox account. When I tried to switch accounts, it wanted to load all my original bookmarks etc and combine them in the new profile.

It's now evident that I didn't realise the difference between accounts and profiles (and I'm still somewhat confused). I can't find any clear help on how to switch between accounts and profiles. Why am I finding it so difficult? Perhaps Firefox is being too smart for me.
