This would mean if Windows 7 or later make separate User accounts to keep account separate and have them password set so one can't access another accounts on the computer. This will insure each Browser is set to that user accounts. Sync will since to Firefox sync to the same Firefox login on another account this is why you need to make Windows account for each user to keep their settings to their accounts. What your asking is more Windows O/S environment where each user has their own login/pswd to prevent accounts mistakes.
