This is what I use mainly for testing web applications.

Test User – A plain, vanilla Firefox instance no extensions.

Personal – This was originally the default profile it has my personal stuff on it and of course Nads :).

There is also a checkbox that allows you to specify that the profile chooser should be consulted when starting Firefox. From this screen you may create, rename or delete profiles. On your Mac (go here for Windows/Linux instructions), simply execute the following from the command line: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -profilemanagerĪ Firefox profile chooser will appear (it may appear behind your terminal window). Most people will probably only need the default profile and will never create others, but for web developers this is a must.

For personal browsing they will only slow things down. Firefox is my development browser of choice.
