Social bookmarking is a way for Internet users to store, organize, share and search bookmarks of web pages. In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, but depending on the service's features, may be saved privately, shared only with specific people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, via a search engine, or even randomly.

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!
