I always wondered why there was no easier way to change profiles in firefox than about:profiles. I am not sure what your solution is though, would you mind going into details ? Thanks in advance

You can create a shortcut which will launch with the profile of choice: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1171685 https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1171685

  The problem is that this is the same solution as it was in 2005 and no average user is mucking about with specified shortcuts or command line flags. Chromium has demonstrated the most obvious GUI for this but for whatever reason the FF product team believes we should prefer about:profiles or this solution.

I launch my FF profiles from the terminal using aliases. But I guess some people would find that difficult (though it's not) even if they do happen to be a Linux user.

I just have a shortcut for launching with the -P (Profile) and -new-process options.

There is an easier way, if you are willing to install the Profile Switcher for Firefox extension and accompanying connector. See my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28356472 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28356472
