About bloody time. Containers are fine for on the fly use - for checking what pages look like logged out, or visiting a link that you don’t want affecting algorithms etc. but for separating personal and work and whatever else, profiles are the way to go. It’s actually already pretty easy to add ‘about:profiles’ to the toolbar but the more accessible they make it, the better.
I look forward to profiles also making it to the Android app 5 to 10 years from now.
At the moment, running different profiles simultaneously is not possible
That’s the one feature I really want from Firefox!
I feel like this hasn’t been said enough: Multi-account containers are already all I need.

Bullocks. I run 2 or 3 profiles at the same time. For over 2 years now. Just easier now.
Yeah but you have to do it with separate launch arguments.
Or always start with profilemanager. But indeed, also a launch argument.
Or open
about:profiles(which you can put conveniently in your bookmark bar).
Rookie numbers! 4 here.

Bullshit. I’ve been multiboxing Firefox for years.
You need to run
firefox.exe -pto open profile manager and then create all the profiles you want. Then create shortcuts to each new profile.firefox.exe -p ProfileNameThis allows you to run a personal profile, work profile and porn profile simultaneously without crossing streams.
Anyone else get an obvious malware popup in this link? On iOS.
Yeah this website is shit
I did not, no.
Cool. I’ve been thinking they should just make that available somewhere for quite a while now, since about:profiles was already pretty usable, it was just impossible to find for normal users. But that they’re improving the user experience at the same time is quite welcome, too.

That just means it’s in active development and will come to the beta browser soon, and then to the stable version.
How is it better than
about:profile?Because it’s integrated into the GUI similar to how pretty much every other browser does it, of course .
Noone asks you to open terminal and edit config files in editor
