Ultimate Guide :How to configure Mozilla Firefox profiles
One of the greatest feature of Mozilla Firefox is to use its user profile feature efficiently.
Everyone in this world is individual with his/her own interests and secrets.
So everyone needs his/her own configuration on his/her browser, but it ain't possible always
as there are multiple users and you can't restrict everybody.
Also you may be the lone user but you may need multiple configurations because of your multitude interests.
Another reason to create a profile is to password protect your saved configurations from others.
So here are some steps you guys can follow to create and customize your profile.- Go to start and then run and type following if you use Windows:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\
- It will show your default profile.
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
It will simply will take you to location here profiles are saved.- For creating new profile go to run and type :
Firefox.exe -profilemanager- Then you will see a similar window like below containing options create profile , renaming profile and delete profile, since you never made one so it will contain only one profile by the name of default.
- Now you create new profile or rename the existing one.
- You can check the option to set your default profile or can keep the option of asking each time. Another option which you can utilize is that you can load your backup profile if you carry one.

- If you don't have one you can simply make a newer by using a tool Mozbackup. It is advisable to backup your profile because it makes your setting portable wherever you go you can simply carry this backup with you either in any portable device or upload it to your safe hosting space on internet. You gotta save it because it contains all those important details like passwords, your browser configurations, websites personal settings and cookies.

- Next time whenever you wanna restore your profile backup you open the Mozbackup and check the restore option and simply provide the path to backup file's location. Restart Firefox and simply see the magic.

- Another thing u must take care of because of security reasons is to password protect your profile by creating a master password.
- For that go to Tools-->Options-->Security and check master password button and a pop up will come asking you for password.

- Enter password and next time whenever you or anybody will visit your critical pages suppose your adsense account you will be asked to enter the password.
