Are you talking about having several using the same computer account to use Firefox? Or each user having a separate account on the computer?

If the latter, each Firefox profile is located in the computer account of each user. One would need administrator privileges to get access to other accounts.

Each FF profile is totally separate from other profiles.

The only password Firefox uses is the Master Password for the Password Manager.

The method you describe will let any user use any profile. There would be no real privacy.

Make sure you have Administrator Privileges on your computer. Press the Windows icon. Then Control Panel > User Accounts. Create a normal user account for each user. Firefox will create a profile for each user in the user's folder.

so in the new version of fire fox there is no way to create a individual password per profile like the old version ?

Not from one computer account, other than the Master Password. The Master is only for the Password Manager.
