I have Windows 10 and whenever I install Firefox in my desktop (preferences, bookmarks, email etc) other users also get my Firefox page on theirs. How do I prevent my Firefox page from being shared?

Give each user their own user account on the computer. Firefox will create a profile for each user.

See these articles to learn how to create separate Windows 10 User Accounts. http://www.windowscentral.com/manage-user-accounts-windows-10

That is very important because in addition to Firefox being shared when using one Windows User Account, all your data files for every program you use is exposed to anyone who might poke around your drive. There is no privacy for anyone who is using a shared Windows User Account!
