But... Chrome has had this feature for MUCH longer than Firefox.

  If you mean profiles, Firefox has had it even longer, albeit with poor UI.

    Look I'm a contributor to Firefox and even I think it's a stretch to say that FF has multi-profile support. I mean the feature is technically there but it's unusable by everyone except FF nerds. It's a special kind of hell where something like FIREFOX_PROFILE_DIR=~/.profile1 firefox FIREFOX_PROFILE_DIR=~/.profile2 firefox would actually be an improvement on the UX.

      But it is that easy: firefox --no-remote --profile /path/to/profile/directory

      You need to make one shortcut[0]: firefox --no-remote -ProfileManager Then just click that every time you want a new/different profile. It has a list, with Create, Delete, Rename buttons... I do wish -ProfileManager implied --no-remote though -- I wonder whether there's a reason it doesn't?. EDIT: I just found `firefox -P` elsewhere in the thread. Also it seems like -ProfileManager does imply --no-remote now. Yay! [0]: Or a shell script in my case, but a shortcut is probably more "accessible".

  Chrome lets you have different accounts per window, which is nice. Firefox supports different accounts per tab, or the optional Facebook Container extension blocks communication to Facebook domains in all tabs outside of the Facebook container.
