DLS Tip: Manage your Firefox profile(s) on Windows, Mac and Linux
Firefox profiles are a seemingly hidden feature that brings a lot of power and flexibility to the browser. Users can create separate profiles that have different add-ons installed, preferences, bookmarks - you name it. Each profile is like a new, clean slate for the browser, but accessing the profile tool isn't exactly straightforward. Other Mozilla efforts like Thunderbird and the Mozilla Suite offer better access to profile tools, but for Firefox users, Mozilla maintains this Profiles support page that offers step-by-step processes for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux on how to access the profile manager (however, this page is also handy for copy/paste-able command line code). With this manager you can create and delete all the profiles you need, as well as toggle whether the profile manager appears when you start Firefox (this setting, as you might imagine, is turned off by default).If you aren't a chronic nut for Firefox profiles however, this tip can also be handy for another reason: troubleshooting. If Firefox is misbehaving or crashing a lot lately, chances are an add-on or Greasemonkey script is the culprit, and not Firefox itself. Setting up a clean profile to test things might just be the trick you need to get back to trouble-free browsing.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
