Creating another Firefox Profile

You do this by creating another Firefox profile. 

  These instructions are for Windows.  If you do this on another operating system, please add them here.

Windows

1. Open your Windows Control Panel.
2. Open System (via classic view)
3. Click Advanced tab
4. Click Environment Variables
5. Click New (the bottom one, in the System Variables section)
6. Enter MOZ_NO_REMOTE for the name and 1 for the value
7. Click OK (3 times)
8. Close Firefox if it is open
9. Open Start menu
10. Click Run
11. Enter firefox -p
12. Click Create Profile...
13. Click Next
14. Enter a name, it doesn't matter what it is (we will use FF2 for this article)
15. Click Finish
16. Click Exit
17. Open an instance of Firefox like you normally have always done
18. Open Start menu
19. Click Run
20. Enter firefox -p "FF2" (change FF2 to whatever you named your new profile)

Then in your new FF2 Firefox window download and install the plugin.

Using multiple Yahoo IDs

Once you have multiple Firefox profiles, you can sign in with different Yahoo IDs in each.

Using different plugin settings

You can either configure or import different settings for each profile.  For example, if you're setting up a profile so that you can use another moderators ID, you can import their settings.
