Could you explain what you mean by this? Firefox does have profiles, and more than one can be active at a time. (There's also the newer containers feature which allows further compartmentalization.)
- Ensorceled 6y agoChrome style profiles that are a 1st class feature; that isn't accessed with a secret url, doesn't require multiple instances of Firefox in my dock, can be toggled between profiles easily, can be easily identified with a icon in the top corner of the browser. I heavily use the firefox containers feature which is awesome.
- toyg 6y agoChrome-style profiles are one thing I really don’t want. I endure Mozilla accounts only to sync bookmarks.
- bscphil 6y ago> that isn't accessed with a secret url, doesn't require multiple instances of Firefox in my dock, can be toggled between profiles easily I think Firefox can do at least these three. You can permanently enable the profile manager on application startup (it's not in an about: page). You can also make shortcuts on your desktop / taskbar / etc directly to a profile with "firefox -p ProfileName". All Firefox instances are grouped into the same icon on the taskbar for me (Linux / KDE). Granted, it could certainly be more user friendly, but it's proved rock solid for me for years now.
