I created a profile of Firefox yesterday using Profile Manager. And placed it in a virtual encrypted drive created by TrueCrypt. But Firefox didn't open with the profile. Instead it opened in default setting that Firefox usually gets when newly installed. I tried to select the profile through Profile Manager and open Firefox but to no avail. Even tried placing the profile in the Profile folder in Firefox pathway in AppData. Still same thing. At last reset Firefox and the profile was deleted. Now I'm with newly default setting. Luckily I had saved my bookmarks from Bookmark Manager.

I just wanted to save a profile so that only I can only access my profile and any other person would just had to use default setting. Also to restore my settings in case I install a fresh Firefox or reset Firefox to solve a problem.

Please help me fulfill my wants as stated above and why did it not work yesterday with the Profile Manager?

Hello ams963, i think the problem is with TrueCrypt because it is not support your win 8 yet. see: http://www.truecrypt.org/

http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/version-history

see if can find a method in the next link, not too useful i think for your win 8 : Protecting the contents of the profile

thank you

It is best to create one or more separate Windows accounts for others if you do not want them to access your personal data.

@ideato Hi,

TrueCrypt is working fine. It serves it purpose without any problem. I don't think non-support for Win 8 is the problem.

Hi,

Yeah I figured. I guess that's better.
