Each instance of firefox has its own context. One is unsafe browsing, one is personal browsing, one is development-related browsing, a la Qubes. I used to have a problem with messy, unnavigable bookmarks so now I keep my bookmarks lean and rely on tabs to hold pages I may only need for a month or two at most. It's pretty quick to navigate to a tab with Ctrl+L
- mthoms 8y agoHow do you create different "instances" of Firefox on the desktop? Or are you just talking about different windows?
- kakarot 8y agoI run a hypervisor OS and all of my work is done in contextual VMs, which each run their own instance of Firefox.
- qu4z-2 8y agoYou can also run multiple profiles in parallel, using something like firefox --no-remote --profile-manager I have that as an alias in bash, and a shortcut on my Windows desktop.
