I have several users on my ASUS Windows10 computer and all use Firefox. I just noticed that browsing history and bookmarks are shared among users. Other than using "Private Browsing", how do I stop this?

Hi lor1.

By default, Firefox will create separate profiles for each Windows user. So the question is, why all users share the same profile?

Where have you downloaded Firefox? And aren't you using Firefox Portable?

Also check, where the profile(s) is/are stored.

Are you using sync? Shut it down for now. Separate users on the same computer should have separate profiles.

Thanks for the suggestions. I shut off "sync" on both instances for both Bookmarks and History. I'll see if that makes the problem go away.
