It's not quite a new profile since the container retains all your configuration and extensions and a profile doesn't.
It's more similar to a private browsing session, except things aren't forgotten, and you can have as many as you like. And they're tab level so you can treat them they same way you would a tab.

- johnp_ 9y agoProfiles: Every configuration change or extension has to be added in every profile to keep in sync manually across different Firefox instances. Containers: Use the same configuration and extensions across different containers in one running Firefox instance. Both retain configuration and extensions between traditional browser sessions (start/stop). Containers additionally "retain" configuration and extensions across contextual sessions/identities.
