Step 6: Working with profiles
1. How to use a unique profile depending on web site type
You can have several different user profiles in both Mozilla 1.x and Firefox.
Mozilla 1.x --help shows:
-P <profile> Start with <profile>.
-ProfileWizard Start with profile wizard.
-ProfileManager Start with profile manager.
-SelectProfile Start with profile selection dialog.
Firefox --help shows:
-P <profile> Start with <profile>.
-ProfileManager Start with profile manager.
You can make your menu start the browser with -P to get a dialog box where you can select profile when it is started.
You can make new profiles and manage them by starting with the -ProfileManager parameter. It is generally a good idea to have one profile for bank and other important services and a standard profile for general surfing.
