Yeah, but afaik, switching those profiles in Firefox is (currently) really difficult. So much so that it almost feels the same as if you didn't have the capability to do it...
- sp332 10y agoYou can edit your shortcut or .desktop file to open "firefox -P" instead of "firefox". Each time you click it, it will ask which profile you want the new window to be in.
- lucb1e 10y agoHad I known this earlier... I had the same reaction as the person you replied to, I hadn't thought of using profiles. I knew something called profiles existed, but I thought it was not in use anymore (at least not properly supported). I never connected the dots. Still sounds like a pain to manage though, compared to this new feature.
- sp332 10y agoYeah it's not a great user interface, and it's definitely buried. Aside from the Developer Edition which uses a different profile by default, it seems to be ignored by Firefox devs. Probably because they don't want to support all the people who get confused by the terrible UI!
- BugsBunnySan 10y agooh, ok, that is pretty usefull actually!
- y4mi 10y agocan you open several profiles simultaneously as well?
- sp332 10y agoYes. Each window is stuck in one profile, but different windows can be in different profiles.
