Create a new profile

In order to create a new profile, you use the Profile Manager. To start the Profile Manager in Windows,
follow these steps:

1. Close Firefox completely (select File > Exit
   from the main menu of Firefox).


2. Select Start > Run... from the Windows Start menu (use the search box on Vista).


3. Enter firefox.exe -ProfileManager and press OK.

On Linux or Mac, start Firefox with the
-ProfileManager switch, e.g. ./firefox -ProfileManager (this assumes that you're in the firefox directory).

You should now see the Profile Manager window, shown in the screenshot to the right.

From the Profile Manager you are also able to remove and rename profiles. Be very careful when deleting profiles; if you created the profile in an directory that already existed, the entire directory will be removed!

• A highlight is only viewable to its owner on the original page, and is
  NOT viewable to the public on the original page unless there
  are public Sticky Notes associated with it. (This is designed to reduce
  graffiti on the original webpage)


• On the Diigo website, all highlights will be shown as clippings along with
  the bookmarks.  If a bookmark is public, so will be its associated
  clippings. (This is designed to maximize information sharing)


• If the text you highlight contains hyperlinks, the dotted blue highlighter
  will skip the hyperlinks so that you can still click on the hyperlinks. And
  the associated clippings will also preserve the hyperlinks.


• You can highlight and clip a combination of pictures and text.


• Using our advanced bookmark search, you can search highlighted contents
  only, giving you quicker access to what you are looking for.
