Firefox profiles are similar to user accounts in Windows operating system. Just like Windows operating system, Firefox uses accounts to save user data. In Firefox, user accounts are called profiles.

A profile includes user information such as passwords, bookmarks, preferences, history, and other data. In addition to the default profile, you can also create more profiles, if you want.

Mozilla Firefox saves all profiles in a location different than its install location.
