It started last night,when my son logged on,he got my browser. I logged on this morning,& I got his browser,but with my bookmarks,etc intact. Now,he gets his browser,with my stuff? I'd like to know why did this happen,& how do I fix it? I ran my anti virus/anti malware program,but found nothing?...

Are you both using different Windows accounts or the same Windows account ant different Firefox profiles?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager

We all have different desktops on the same computer,using vista home premium. So I guess that's a different winacct.?

OK,I figured it out. There's no profile manager in the tools drop down. But I could & did click on tools,Click on "add-ons",go across the top to "themes",& pick the one I'm supposed to have from the list. I just don't know if this will fix my son's end of the problem on his desktop. Then,we may have a real problem...
