My FireFox – Managing Profiles
Getting Started
Firefox is arguably the best commercial Browser to date. It is feature rich, balanced, fast, fairly secure, customizable and cross-platform to name a few things. Did I mention it is 100% open source? Quite balanced if you ask me. So it was only right that I do an article about it. That article turned into a whole series of guides revealing some of its power and capabilities.
Some of the info in these guides may be self-explanatory to you. If so, great! But I have seen plenty mistakes made trying to do what you’d think would be the simplest task. Mostly caused by user error from not fully understanding the details of the operations being performed. No worries, it happens.
Maybe you’re just getting started and unsure about what all this means or why you may want to do such. Well, first we’ll get familiar with some basics, then we should be ready to move forward.
We’ll start with these 2 guides:
Managing Profiles
If you already have a profile or two or three in FireFox, managing them is critical to keep your browser experience organized and efficient.
For easier reference, we’ll break it down into multiple sections…….
We’ll cover these 7 more areas:
And, that’s not all! If you’ve made it this far, We’ll throw in this novelty bonus guide absolutely free! With no money down and no credit check, on approved credit!
Default Profile Location
As a reminder, here are the locations for the default profile folders. Just in case you need them.
C:/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/App Data/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles
SHORTCUT:
%AppData%/Mozilla/FireFox/Profiles
C:/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/App Data/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles
SHORTCUT:
%LocalAppData%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles
Bookmarking The Profile Manager
If you’ve been following these profile guides, I’m sure navigating to the profiles manager page is a pain in the arse by now. If this is your introduction, you’ll see what I mean later. Save yourself the trouble and save the page as a bookmark and add it to your toolbar for quick access. If you are not sure how to do this, check out the FireFox and Bookmarks article.
So let’s knock this out. Start where you wanna!

Happy Browsing!
