+
+<p>If you use the Internet at home and at work, you may want to have access to
+ a different set of bookmarks, preferences, address books, email accounts,
+ Sidebar setup, and so on. Similarly, family members may want to share a copy
+ of the same browser software but keep their Internet identities separate.</p>
+
+<p>The Profile Manager lets you create different profiles, each with its own
+ bookmarks, preferences, email settings, and so on. You automatically create a
+ default profile when you first install your browser software. After you
+ create one or more additional profiles, you will be asked which you want to
+ use each time you launch the browser.</p>
