It started last night,when my son logged on,he got my browser. I logged on this morning,& I got his browser,but with my bookmarks,etc intact. Now,he gets his browser,with my stuff? I'd like to know why did this happen,& how do I fix it? I ran my anti virus/anti malware program,but found nothing?...

Are you both using different Windows accounts or the same Windows account ant different Firefox profiles?

We all have different desktops on the same computer,using vista home premium. So I guess that's a different winacct.?

OK,I figured it out. There's no profile manager in the tools drop down. But I could & did click on tools,Click on "add-ons",go across the top to "themes",& pick the one I'm supposed to have from the list. I just don't know if this will fix my son's end of the problem on his desktop. Then,we may have a real problem...
