Firefox hides many secrets, but one of the lesser known features of Mozilla Firefox most useful for those developing web pages is the use of user profiles. Firefox allows you to create specific profiles that include those plugins, themes or extensions that a user may need. Moreover, both markers, such as browsing history, downloads, etc., Are unique to this new profile.
And what I want profiles? For example, it can be should start a Firefox profile with all those plugins that are used for development or testing, and have another profile for more general use and not so many plugins. So save memory consumption and maintain our default profile Safe. This article will show you how to set up a profile, how to start or how to have two profiles open at once.
Fifefox first thing is to close, making sure not running in the background. Then, depending on the operating system run "firefox.exe-profilemanager"
This will open this window:
If
you have not created a profile before, you can create a new one now by clicking "Create Profile ...". Before proceeding, I recommend you deactivate it the box "Do not ask at startup." So you can choose the profile when starting Firefox.
Once created, is selected and click "Start Firefox". Now you'll have a brand new Firefox. That is, none of the plugins, or styles, etc ... the default profile will be in the new profile. If our goal is to use the profile to design or debug applications, I recommend you hit instaléis all plugins that you consider necessary.
good thing about having this independent profile, is that not a single profile sobrecargáis with all plugins and thus saving memory. Of course, any changes that you make here will not affect the default profile, and you can try any plugin or theme without any problems. Now you will have a "sandbox" completely fail-safe that you can use as a test without running the risk of default will load your profile.
For convenience you can create shortcuts (this will vary by operating system) to boot one or the other profile. You only have to put this route: firefox.exe-P "NombreDeMiPerfil." In the front window of profiles would be firefox.exe-P "Testing." If you also want the two profiles can be open at once, you can add "-no-remote" to the previous line: firefox.exe-p "Normal"-no-remote.
Note: If you do this the profile of the first shortcut that will execute this is used by everyone.
Needless to say, also can apply the profiles to use on a shared computer and each user has the setting you want. If you want more information on the Mozilla support site has more information on the management profiles.
