Profiles are a way for people to share information about themselves, what they do, the things the like or dislike, special places they recommend, and so on. Profile information (as is the case with most things) is stored on Second Life servers.

In Firestorm, profiles my be displayed in one of two ways:

• "Legacy" V1 Style
• Web Based, V2 Style

The look and feel of these is very different so they are treated separately; click the links above to access the section you are interested in.

Users on Firestorm 3.3.0 and earlier have a somewhat different layout and look for the “legacy” style profiles; click here for information, if needed.

To select which of the two you wish to use, access Preferences → General (the Preferences window can by opened with Ctrl-P, or from the top menu bar, Avatar → Preferences). In the upper right corner, enable Use web profiles by default to use web based profiles; disable it to use legacy profiles.
