Thanks Colin, had a look but unfortunately nothing there which is of any 
real use.

Instead of simply fiddling with one file or even a parameter looks like 
transferring the Bookmarks to the newly created profile, taking a note 
of the all the passwords now used on various sites, taking a note of the 
Extensions and Plugins and installing them when FF is started under the 
new profile :-( .  No big deal of course, just annoying.
