Can't keep extension settings different in different profiles
I created a second profile called Shopping. I imported the extensions from my default profile into it. I wanted to run Shopping with a different set of enabled and disabled extensions from what I normally run on my Default profile. (On Shopping I enabled a number of shopping-related extensions I normally keep disabled on Default.) But I have found that I'm not able to separate the two profiles in this respect. When I brought up Default after using Shopping, the enabled/disabled configuration I had left Default with had been replaced with the enabled/disabled configuration of Shopping. This defeats my whole purpose in creating the Shopping profile. How can I keep the enabled/disabled extensions configurations of these two profiles separate?

If you used Sync to do that "import", disable Sync for at least one of those Profiles.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have Sync enabled for all the profiles. To my surprise, however, Sync was of no use in getting Default's extension collection into Shopping. For that I had to resort to the article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox.
I will try disabling Sync on Shopping.
