Right now I have around 6 Window User Accounts (just for me on one computer) because I did not know that I could put more then one Firefox per account. I have to leave the tabs up when I close Firefox because if I just bookmark them I wont finish my work I was doing with those sites. Now that I know how to put multiple Firefoxes under one user account. Which would make my computer fast or does it not matter, if I put all my Firefoxes on one Window user account or have 6 Window user accounts, each with their own Firefox? -Thanks

It is more work to switch to another Windows account then to open another Firefox instance with another profile. If you only use the other windows accounts for using Firefox that way and not for other purposes then there is nothing against switching to only one Windows account to make it easier to manage things as backing up your personal data or copying your data between the other profiles.

So it is up to you if you want to switch to only one Windows account.
