Firefox Multi-Profile Confused with the meaning of multi-profile? Simply this, if you have not been modified Firefox there is only one profile is provided by that software. Profiles are used to save the settings and extensions used by user. When you run Firefox, those settings will contribute executed. If you install a various extensions, loading process would be long enough because all extensions will run. With the multi-profile you can run your Firefox with settings different.

Benefits that will you get:

You can create different profiles according to your needs. If you often open a social networking websites, you can create a profile that contains extensions of social networking like Facebook Toolbar or Yoono. So the extension is run only associated with social networking extensions. Likewise, if you plug in an extension of reference for your Study profile, only the settings associated with it which will be opened (after you make some settings on the extension parameters).

You can run different firefox profiles simultaneously. Yes, the same software but different environment. Become more focused for those of you who are looking for references for your study (in your Study profile).

Your profile can be stored in another folder, not necessarily in the system folder. By default, Firefox stores your profile in the system folder. If the computer is in trouble and your software must be reinstalled, will be very unpleasant to re-settings your Firefox again. By making modifications to your profile, the problem is solved easily.
