    Folks, i have probably got a very straight forward issue here but its wrecking my head.

    Win 7 - Firefox 20 - Multiple Profiles

    I have one user setup and create standard bookmarks that will be needed for all users on this machine. How can i copy the exact same bookmarks to all other users?

    Been looking at this website and it seems to suggest it can be done ???
    1. Exit Firefox
    2. Start -> Run -> type ‘%APPDATA%’
    3. Select Mozilla -> Firefox -> Profiles
    4. Copy profile folder (XXXXXXX.default) and paste it to desired location (eg. C:\Firefox\Profiles)
    5. Start -> Run -> type ‘firefox.exe -ProfileManager’
    6. Click ‘Create Profile’
    7. Click ‘Choose Folder’
    8. Select the newly copied folder (eg. C:\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXXXX.default)
    9. Now select the newly created profile and click ‘Start Firefox’ — check that all your cookies etc are there

    I assume this part will be done on Profile A
    1. Exit Firefox
    2. Start -> Run -> type ‘%APPDATA%’
    3. Select Mozilla -> Firefox -> Profiles
    4. Copy profile folder (XXXXXXX.default) and paste it to desired location (eg. C:\Firefox\Profiles)

    And then the rest done when logged into profile B, C, D, etc.
    5. Start -> Run -> type ‘firefox.exe -ProfileManager’
    6. Click ‘Create Profile’
    7. Click ‘Choose Folder’
    8. Select the newly copied folder (eg. C:\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXXXX.default)
    9. Now select the newly created profile and click ‘Start Firefox’ — check that all your cookies etc are there



    *************


    Edit: Sorry about that .... Step 5a should be 'Remove Default Profile first' .... all done and sorted !!!
