I have more than one accounts on my computer. However, when opening Firefox from these users, it has the same history, login information, etc. from my main account. Is there any way to keep them separate?

With all versions of Firefox, all user profile are separate. Are you using sync? Shut it down.

Is each user running there own Firefox profile? Type about:profiles<enter> in the address bar of each user.
