I would love switching but the only thing preventing me is the lack of profiles like Chrome has. Containers is not the same as you can't have different extensions for each container like chrome has for each profile.
For example, I have 2 LP accounts one for home and one for work and there's no way to use both of then at the same time in FF

- mderazon 9y agoDidn't know about this. It's still not nearly as convenient as Chrome. Hard to switch profiles, hard to distinguish which window is which profile.
- callahad 9y agoI agree that the UX isn't anywhere as seamless as Chrome's, though I've seen add-ons that attempt to fill that niche. Hopefully we'll revisit it once containers are done. Personally, I'm on Linux most of the time, so I just bind a hotkey to `firefox --ProfileManager --new-instance` and I'm off to the races. On Windows, I tend to add shortcuts to the taskbar for each profile. Nevertheless, the capability is there. :)
