|
|
|
|
<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>

<h2 id="roaming_profiles">Roaming Profiles</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Roaming profiles allow you to store your profile and associated settings on
|
|
a central server or file share. The advantage of this is that your settings
|
|
can follow you from one machine to another. For example, you may wish to use
|
|
&brandShortName; both at work and at home keeping your bookmarks, address
|
|
book, and other settings in sync, or a company may want to allow its
|
|
employees to use their &brandShortName; profile on any computer.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Roaming profiles can be stored on a HTTP or FTP server. You will need a
|
|
user name and password on that server, so that you can have write access
|
|
to the appropriate directory for storing and retrieving your profile.
|
|
Alternatively, for computers that use a common file share, you can store
|
|
the profile in a local directory using the Copy method.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Whenever you start &brandShortName;, your profile is downloaded and whenever
|
|
you shutdown &brandShortName;, your profile is uploaded.</p>

<h2 id="roaming_prefs">Roaming User Preferences</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This section describes how to use the main Roaming User preferences panel.
|
|
If you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the
|
|
<span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span> <span class="noMac">Edit</span>
|
|
menu and choose Preferences.</li>
|
|
<li>Click on the Roaming User category.</li>
|
|
<li>Select <strong>Enable remote profile storage</strong> to activate roaming
|
|
for the current profile.</li>
|
|
<li>Select one of the following:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>HTTP / FTP</strong>: Choose this if you wish to have the
|
|
profile information copied to a FTP or HTTP server.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Base URL</strong>: Type the URL of the directory where
|
|
the roaming profile will be stored. This can be an FTP, HTTP or
|
|
HTTPS URL. FTP is probably easiest to set up on a home network.
|
|
In other cases, especially when transmitting over the Internet,
|
|
it is strongly recommended to use HTTPS, because otherwise, all
|
|
your saved passwords and bookmarks (depending on your Item
|
|
Selection) might be read by other people on the same network.
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Examples</strong>:<br/>
|
|
<kbd><https://user@http-server/dir/></kbd><br/>
|
|
<kbd><ftp://user@ftp-server//home/user/dir/></kbd><br/>
|
|
<kbd><ftp://user@ftp-server/dir/></kbd></p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Username</strong>: Type the user name that will be
|
|
used to access the FTP or HTTP server.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Save password</strong>: Enable this option to save the
|
|
password for the user name that you have supplied.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Password</strong>: Type the password for the user name
|
|
that you supplied.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>File Copy</strong>: Choose this if you wish to have the
|
|
profile information copied to a local directory.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Click <strong>Browse</strong> and select the directory where you
|
|
wish the profile information to be copied to and retrieved
|
|
from.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>

<h2 id="roaming_item_selection">Roaming User Preferences - Item selection</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>By default, only bookmarks, cookies, and the personal addressbook are stored
|
|
on the roaming server. If all items are greyed out, make sure to have Roaming
|
|
enabled.To enable or disable roaming of other profile informations, follow
|
|
these steps:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the
|
|
<span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span> <span class="noMac">Edit</span>
|
|
menu and choose Preferences.</li>
|
|
<li>Under the Roaming User category, click Item Selection. (If no
|
|
subcategories are visible, double-click Roaming User to expand the
|
|
list.)</li>
|
|
<li>Select the items that you wish to be included in the roaming profile
|
|
synchronization.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>You cannot roam your local email, partly because that would take too long.
|
|
Use IMAP for this purpose.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Note</strong>: If you are using a slow connection, be aware that
|
|
some files can be quite large, so this will impact your startup time.
|
|
&brandShortName; will have to download locally all of the files you
|
|
selected from the list before being fully functional, and save them back
|
|
to the remote server when you exit &brandShortName;.</p>
