Never mind! Thanks to Amie this things is figured out.

But for future reference this is what the wonderful Amie suggested i do! :) (thanks once again)


Know the directory in which "firefox" (not the shortcut) is located
EX. "C:\Program Files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" (that is mine loctation)

Once you know the location of firefox.exe go into start and "run"

Type in the directory begining with quotation marks and closing with quotations.

Like so: "C:\Program Files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" and then add "-P" to the end of the command.

So at the end you told the computer to run something the looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" -p

You will start with the "profile manager" and you can choose to change anything from there!

Good Luck.

Thank Amie

When you start Firefox, do you see the profile manager window before Firefox starts? If so this is where you choose which profile to use for the current browsing session.

Is there a profile manager entry in the Firefox folder in your start menu?

If so click it and you can choose which profile to use.

If not; start>click run>use the browse button and browse to Firefox.exe in Program Files (or where-ever you installed Firefox) and click open, then add a space and -p, click okay. This should start the profile manager and you can create/delete profiles here by clicking manage profiles, or you can choose which profile you wish to use here.
