Industry: Internet & Online

Press Release Summary: In the role of web site designer, I find it useful to have
Firefox set up with various Extensions for helping
test compliance, keep track of Google Adsense earnings, checking PageRank and Alexa
rating, etc...

However, when I am simply surfing the internet, I don\'t want to be weighed down by
all these tools, cluttering up my status and toolbars. I like a slick, simple
browser that looks good and works quickly.

Fortunately, I am able to have both of these scenarios in Firefox, through the
wonder of Profiles.


How do Firefox Profiles work?

Firefox allows multiple users to set up the browser to suit their own specific needs
and tastes, from Themes and Extensions to Bookmarks and Home Page.
Upon startup of Firefox, you are able to choose which user profile you would like to
use.
So, you can now have a profile for your web development needs, one for your personal
surfing, and even one for the kids (allowing you to increase Firefox\'s security
measures).
Each profile is independent of the others, so it\'s like having a new installation
for each user.

How do I activate Firefox Profiles?

1. Firstly, find the Firefox shortcut on your desktop (or create one from the .exe
file).
2. Right-click it, and select properties.
3. Lastly, in the Target box, add \' -p\' without the apostrophes to the end of the
target line (so that it reads something like \'C:\\Program
Files\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\firefox.exe -p\'), and click OK.

Now when you start Firefox through this shortcut you will be prompted with the
Profiles Manager box (as long as you do not already have an instance of Firefox
open). It\'s all self-explanatory from thereon.


For faster start-up, I advise that you keep two shortcuts on your desktop - one to
load up Firefox as normal, and this new one to execute only when you want to change
