Multiple Firefox Accounts

Hi all,

I have a single Firefox "account", shared with my wife. There are hundreds of bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar, but only a few of them are used by both of us. I would like to use the Firefox.exe /f routine to be able to create and then choose either of two profiles, one for each of us, with tailored bookmarks.

At the moment, I use FEBE to back up bookmarks and back the result up to a separate hard drive, along with the Firefox profiles folder. Would I be able to restore individual sets of bookmarks and profiles, ie would my back up routines recognise individual "account" data or just deal with the last used "account"?

I hope this makes sense.

Ian

Hi t,

Thanks for the extra info. I've already tested the instructions out on my laptop, which seems to have been a success, though I haven't yet tested the backup/restore functions yet.

Thanks again,

Ian
