Multi-user profiles

Unread post by richstad » 2012-10-03, 12:49

Hi all
I'm a newbie to PM, so I hope I'm in the right forum :-)
Is it possible to create multi-user profiles in PM like FF?

cheers

Yes, close the browser and type "palemoon.exe -profilemanager" (without the quotes) in the search box. That opens up the window to add different profiles.

As Rohugh says creating/deleting new Profile(s) in Pale Moon is the same as Firefox so these two articles may help:

MozillaZine's "Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_ne ... on_Windows
Mozilla support's "Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles": http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pro ... e&r=1&as=s

PS. The Profile path/Profile location in Pale Moon is, by necessity, not the same as Firefox and there are several forum topics covering this if you need further information. However for normal creation/deletion of alternative profiles, etc this difference will not affect you. :)
