Thanks for this. I've been naively using containers. Yes, a UI for profiles would be awesome- we've been wanting that for a long time.

  You can either start firefox with `-P` to the profile chooser when starting firefox, or navigate to `about:profiles` to show the UI for managing them. Would allow greater discovery if this `about:profiles` page was exposed somewhere in preferences, but at least there is something I guess.

    I just almost always start firefox with a mouse click- even on fluxbox :/

      $ cd ~/.local/share/applications $ cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop . $ vim firefox.desktop Add -P onto the end of the 'Exec' line. Now your click button for firefox will open the profile manager.

        awesome!

      If you dig around, there is probably a value in `about:config` that lets you tell firefox to always show the profile selector first. Otherwise, add `-P` to the argument fields in your desktop shortcut.
