Firefox already stores the users' details and usage in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles profiles]. I want to give the user a management system for managing his/her profile. ight now the user has to go through a lengthy procedure to do so.The user can log-in to the browser using a form and then can chose some settings associated with the profile.In a lot of universities,organizations and other places, the system adminstrator and the user are different, and the admin wants to authenticate or give some special rights to the user.  
Firefox already stores the users' details and usage in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles profiles](-although the procedure is lengthy-). I want to give the user a management system where the user can log-in to the browser and the predefined settings would be loaded and the activity would be recorded to the profile .In a lot of universities,organizations and homes(parental control), the system adminstrator and the user are different, and the admin wants to authenticate or give some special rights to the user (-for which external clients or login-systems like cyberoam-). I&nbsp;can break down the whole system into 2 parts - form and settings.&nbsp;


The form could be of multiple usage, a lot of organizations, universities, cyber-cafe, and even parents(who dont want unnecessary usage of sites by children) want to authenticate the user--(and user external clients, softwares like cyberoam to do so)--, so the form would be customizable to include all the necessary details for login.
The form could be of multiple usage - from a simple username/pwd type to another having different fields required to authenticate the user.( it can also have a new registration option)<br>


After Login, the user can do any pre-defined settings, he can have his own boomarks, own add-ons, own proxy settings, some saved passwords, sync options, security settings with his/her mobile and other settings which he/she chose.Also this can help universities/organizations to record users' activity specific to his profile.

Already a lot of people([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=&content=profile bug list]) are using profiles and these would give them a clean interface to do so.
