    A few days ago a tiny window came up asking to decide between 2 accounts, 'my name' and 'default'. I picked quickly, thinking I could reverse it if I picked the wrong one, which I did and I can't find where to switch it back. All my settings, plugins, add-ons are absent. Can anyone help me switch it back? I've been using Firefox for about 4 months and I can't remember being asked before about what user to use. Any help's appreciated. Thanks for reading.

    I did the same thing and I finally found out how to switch back. Go to Start - Run - type in "firefox.exe -profilemanager" and then you'll be able to switch user. Make sure that firefox is closed before entering that.
