Create a new profile
In order to create a new profile, you use the Profile Manager. To start the Profile Manager in Windows,
follow these steps:
Close Firefox completely (select File > Exit
from the main menu of Firefox).
Select Start > Run... from the Windows Start menu (use the search box on Vista).
Enter firefox.exe -ProfileManager and press OK.
On Linux or Mac, start Firefox with the
-ProfileManager switch, e.g. ./firefox -ProfileManager (this assumes that you're in the firefox directory).
You should now see the Profile Manager window, shown in the screenshot to the right.
From the Profile Manager you are also able to remove and rename profiles. Be very careful when deleting profiles; if you created the profile in an directory that already existed, the entire directory will be removed!
Paul Streby on 30 Oct 07This is a mockup of what I'd like to have on my website: a really rockin' linkroll. The "linkroll" is actually a cropped screenshot of a list I created. I'd probably omit the tags, but having the "expand" option would be great, along with alphabetization. Some of the pages I maintain at the University of Michigan-Flint Thompson Library contain dozens of links, and unalphabetized linkrolls would be a major headache to browse through. Right now I'm using del.icio.us linkrolls, but I'd like to have greater leeway in creating annotations: more text allowed, hyperlinks, sticky notes, etc. In other words: Diigo! Ideally, the linkrolls would be from bookmarks on my group. That way, students could join the group and add bookmarks that they and their classmates could use.
