- hashhar 7y agoIf you want separate extensions as well, then goto about:profiles. If you want cookie separation, check out Multi Account Containers.
- jraph 7y agoYou can use the profile manager. There is a way to do it from the graphical user interface (see the sibling comment), though I just run Firefox using firefox -p Maybe set a different theme / persona on each profile.

- hyperdunc 7y agoYou need the containers extension. It's better than Chrome profiles.

- jobigoud 7y agoFirefox probably supported profiles before Chrome even existed. It always saved my life back in the days when you reinstalled the OS and you could just backup/copy over the entire directory of the profile. Personally I edit the Firefox shortcut to add -p at the end of the target to get the profile manager showing up every time I launch. I also use this when I spend a few weeks on a different machine at work: create a new profile, synchronize it with my account, then when I leave I nuke the entire profile.
