This is the way to go for firefox. Instead of copying google chrome, creating new and usefull features.

  But chrome had this feature as well, with user switching. The only difference is that user sessions were bound to windows rather than per tab.

    I disagree. Chrome user sessions don't share history, saved passwords, bookmarks, or add-ons. Firefox Contextual Identities do.

      There are pros and cons to that though. It can be useful to have extensions unique to each profile.

        Firefox has had those kind of profiles for a long time, they just aren't the most accessible thing in the world. But yeah, you can access them from about:profiles or also via the command-line with "firefox -P". If you want to use it more extensively, there's also extensions available for easy switching, like for example Profilist. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profilist/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profilist/
