• Answer:

  I had the same problem. This is what I did. Starting the Profile Manager Windows Vista Exit Firefox. To close Firefox, at the top of the Firefox window, select the File menu, and then select Exit. Open the Windows Start menu. In the Start Search box in the bottom left, type firefox.exe -ProfileManagerand press Enter. Creating a profile To start the Create Profile Wizard, click Create Profile... in the Profile Manager. Click Next and enter the name of the profile. Use a profile name that is descriptive, such as your personal name. This name is not exposed on the Internet. You can also choose where to store the profile, which is useful if you plan on exporting your data and settings to another computer or setup in the future. To choose its storage location on your system, click Choose Folder.... Note: If you choose a custom location for the profile, store it in a new or clean folder. When you choose to remove the profile, all contents stored in the same folder are removed. To create the new profile, click Finish. The new profile is displayed in the Profile Manager. Removing a profile In the Profile Manager, select the profile to remove, and click Delete Profile.... Confirm that you wish to delete the profile: Don't Delete Files removes the profile from the Profile Manager yet retains the profile data files on your computer in the storage folder, so your information is not lost. When you create a new profile, you can copy all of the files inside the old profile's folder to the new profile folder, and your profile information is restored in the new profile. Delete Files removes the profile and its files, including the profile bookmarks, settings, passwords, etc. Caution: If you use the "Delete Files" option, the profile folder and files will be deleted. This action cannot be undone. Cancel interrupts the profile deletion. If you choose to delete the profile, it is removed from the Profile Manager. Renaming a profile In the Profile Manager, select the profile to rename, and then click Rename Profile.... Enter the new name for the profile. Type in the new profile name, and click on OK. Note: The folder containing the files for the profile is not renamed. The profile is renamed in the Profile Manager. Options Work Offline Choosing this option loads the selected profile and starts Firefox without connecting to the Internet. You can view previously viewed web pages and experiment with your profile. Don't ask at startup If you have multiple profiles, Firefox prompts you for the profile to use each time you start Firefox. Select this option to allow Firefox to load the selected profile without prompting at startup. To access other profiles after selecting this option, you must start the Profile Manager first.
