I can have different profiles when I open it up. I think firefox used to do this or does but I can't figure out how. I want to have something that when I open it, it would prompt me which profile I would use. (That way I can have my school bookmarks in one profile, my news bookmarks in another profile, and my personal sites in another. Where each profile would hold its own bookmarks specifically designed for it. ) Is there something that can do this. I don't want an online service, I'm looking for an actual browser or extension for one that would enable this. Thank you for your time.

Firefox allows different profiles.

In order to create a new profile, you use the Profile Manager. To start the Profile Manager in Windows, follow these steps:

1. Close Firefox completely (select File > Exit from the main menu of Firefox).
2. Select Start > Run... from the Windows Start menu (use the search box on Vista).
3. Enter firefox.exe -ProfileManager and press OK.

Close Firefox completely (select File > Exit from the main menu of Firefox).
Select Start > Run... from the Windows Start menu (use the search box on Vista).
Enter firefox.exe -ProfileManager and press OK.

Click on the Create Profile... button to start the Create Profile Wizard. Click Next and enter the name of the profile, e.g. your name or something descriptive.

Finally, click Finish to have Firefox create the new profile

You can also have Firefox start a selected profile automatically, so you don't have to pick one each time the browser is launched. Do this by checking the Don't ask at startup option. If you want the option box appears on startup leave the Checkbox unchecked.

Now create as many profile as you Want.

Set up two extra User Accounts. One for school and one for News.

Then Firefox will remember it's settings for each User Name.
