I am signed into Firefox, and have multiple settings (Favorites, security settings, saved passwords, etc.) synced to my profile across multiple devices. The computer I am on has multiple users (Mac), and I am wondering if, when they are logged into their user account on the computer, all of my settings come up when they launch Firefox or not. I cannot seem to find an answer for this.

Firefox can support many profiles. Only someone with access to your profile, meaning your computer account will be able to get to anything.

However, someone with administrator access can access anything.

Others would only have access to your data stored on the Sync server if they are able to connect to your Sync account and they know the email address you used and the password.


@ FredMcD: The portable Firefox versions are only available for the Windows platform and not for Mac and Linux. The OP posted with a Mac user agent and thus can't use this version.

Oops, sorry.

Also, you would be notified of a new link to your sync via e-mail.
