How to change Profile name and Image in Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Firefox

When you launch a browser, it creates a kind of account. Whether you log in with your Google account or your Microsoft account, you will see an account icon at the top right of the browser. These profiles are usually marked as personal, and if you log in, it will choose the default image for your online account. In this article, I will share how you can change the profile name and image in Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Firefox browsers.

How to Change Username and Profile Image in a Browser

Profiles are like multi-user accounts, which can be linked to an online account, or they can stay as simple profiles. Several profiles help you to separate your work and your personal profile. Your browser history, associated accounts, cookies, etc. are separated. All browsers allow you to rename it and also to add an image or modify the image. This helps you differentiate them.

1. 1. Microsoft Edge
   2. Google Chrome
   3. Mozilla Firefox

Typically, you should click the profile icon, then click Add Profile or Plus Sign. Then you can choose to log into the respective browser account, or you can use it without it.

1]Edit profile name and image on Microsoft Edge

• In a new tab, enter board: // parameters / profiles and hit the enter key
• It will reveal the current profile. Click the three-dot menu button, available next to the logout button.
• Click the Edit button in the drop-down menu
• It will open a small context menu where you can change the name of the profile.
• Click the Change Image link and choose an image of your choice.

If the profile is linked to a Microsoft account, it will open your Microsoft account and ask you to change the image, which is added to your account. If it is not linked, you choose in the default image. There is no way to upload a photo of your choice to unrelated profiles.

2]Change profile name and image on Chrome

• Go to chrome: // parameters / people in a new tab
• Click on the name and image of Chrome
• Edit the name and select one of the available images.

3]Change profile name and image on Firefox

Firefox is a different beast here. Unlike Chrome and Edge, it doesn’t allow you to use an image, and editing profiles aren’t straightforward either. So here is how to change the name of the current profile.

• Go to about: profiles in a new tab. It lists all the existing profiles.
• Click the rename button at the end of the profile you want to rename.
• Click the ok button and you’re done.

You can also launch the profile manager by running the command “firefox -profilemanager»At the Run prompt. It will open a mini version that you can use to create, delete and manage profiles.

Now here’s the deal. If you log in with the Mozilla account, you can change the display name and image for the account.

• Click the profile icon and log in with the Firefox account.
• When you’re done, click the profile icon, then click Account Settings
• Here you have the option for the account image and display name.
• The best part, you can upload a photo or use a camera.

Once the name has been changed, it will replace the email identifier associated with the account.

I hope the message was easy and that you were able to change the profile name and image in Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Firefox.

Firefox has a head start when it comes to personalizing profiles, while Google and Microsoft use profile pictures from the associated account. On the contrary, profile management in Firefox is basic if it is not connected to the Mozilla account.
