  Creating additional profiles in Mozilla:

Suppose you have several people in the household using the same computer but only one login.  If every e-mail address were configured under the same profile, all the e-mail would be downloaded into the same place.  You would then have to sort through the e-mails finding which belonged to you and which belonged to any other user.  Profiles eliminate this hassle.  Creating a profile is like having your own version of Mozilla; they help keep your mail from any other users of the computer.

To create a profile, do the following:

On the Toolbar, click Tools and select Switch Profile from the drop-down menu.

 

The Mozilla Profile Manager appears.

Click the Manage Profiles button.

 

Here you can create, rename, and delete profiles.

Click the Create Profile button.

 

The following screen appears:

Click Next to continue.

 

Enter New Profile name  =  give the profile a name.  In this example, We gave the profile the name "John Boy".

Click Finish to complete the profile.

 

Each time you launch Mozilla, the Mozilla Profile Manager will appear.

Select the profile you'd like to access from Available Profiles and click the Use Profile button.

Important:  you must create an e-mail account for the new profile after logging in.  Click here for a tutorial.
