hello garyweberg, first you'd have to [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles|create a new profile]] (or copy one of your current profiles) to a location on the laptop that the firefox application has write access to, no matter from which account it is launched. afterwards you'd have to edit the profiles.ini file in %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\ in both of the user profiles to point to the new profile location, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file for reference. please also [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] since firefox 16 is [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html affected by numerous known security vulnerabilities]...

Note that only one user (Firefox instance) can use a profile folder at the time, so if you would switch the Windows user to another account then you would first have to close Firefox. ---- * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bypassing_the_Profile_Manager
