I added another email address to my computer but firefox did not import the bookmarks for the new email address

I have firefox as my default browser (formerly it was internet explorer), and I use earthlink total access as my sign-in home page and email. I added my wife's profile to this computer, and during this procedure the bookmarks for her account are imported also. But when we sign in with her access, the home page displays correctly for her earthlink profile but the firefox bookmarks keep coming up with my bookmarks and toolbar instead of hers. I do not understand why firefox is not acknowledging this new profile with the correct bookmarks.

Thanks for your response. We originally had internet explorer as our browser, I use a laptop and my wife uses a pc. both have windows xp. The Earthlink total access is a software we downloaded years ago which gives a homepage format with email access and some other features. The IE toolbar is shown at the top of the page and has a tab for bookmarks. Whenever we switched computers (both have Earthlink access formats for each of us) the screen would show the proper bookmarks for the given sign-in person.
Then we changed to Firefox, and it recognized these IE bookmarks, mine on the laptop, and my wife's on the pc. Now I added her sign-in Earthlink setup so she could use the laptop, but the bookmarks on the laptop show my bookmarks and my firefox toolbar. We did not change anything else, and when we had IE this was automatic for whichever of us was signed in to the device via Earthlink account. The bookmark data was already on the laptop for each of us, yet Firefox does not switch it over as IE did. So I wonder why Firefox does not behave as IE did for browser features
