I use my laptop both at home and at work. And in each venue I use a different user log on. But I wish to have firefox use the same profile for each user log on. How can I get firefox to point to the same profile for each user?

hello garyweberg, first you'd have to create a new profile (or copy one of your current profiles) to a location on the laptop that the firefox application has write access to, no matter from which account it is launched.

afterwards you'd have to edit the profiles.ini file in %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\ in both of the user profiles to point to the new profile location, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file for reference.

please also Update Firefox to the latest release since firefox 16 is affected by numerous known security vulnerabilities...

Note that only one user (Firefox instance) can use a profile folder at the time, so if you would switch the Windows user to another account then you would first have to close Firefox.
