Buddy your best bet is to simply create new profiles with access only through passwords. As far as I am concerned as soon as you close your Mozillas mail application you're logged out. You have to create a master password for your account and no one will be able to access it without knowing the password. I believe also that if you do not want your browser affected where everytime you launch it, it ask you what profile you want to use simply turn on the preferences > advanced > keep Mozilla in memory option. I think now within your tray the last profile accessed, accesses the internet with navigator without a problem. It'll simply launch. I think, just try it, hope it works ;) Victor B. Gonzalez
