How to Use Multiple Profiles on Firefox
The open source Mozilla Firefox Web browser features a profile manager that allows multiple people to use the same Firefox installation while keeping data like history, bookmarks and saved passwords separate. The feature is somewhat hidden in Firefox; you must adjust the browser settings in order to use the profile manager. Once it's configured, you can select between multiple profiles when launching Firefox.
