Firefox has supported this for decades, it just doesn't have a very nice UI for managing it.
Simply start it with "firefox -P" and create two separate profiles (call them "work" and "personal"). Then just start two instances of Firefox, with "firefox -P work" and "firefox -P personal". They will be totally isolated - cookies, history, addons, everything.
- anonymousab 5y agoThe UX for profiles is fairly awful compared to chrome. There's a web extension to make things better but it requires a companion application. Ideally they'd expose more options through web extension APIs or build in a native profile switcher in the main ui rather than as a command line flag and a dedicated about: page. It'd also be cool if the account containers could be customized to behave like profiles e.g. isolate history, but that gets a classic "we need to do this yak shave first" response whenever it gets brought up.
- flurdy 5y agoThere is also "about:profiles". Granted not pretty like Chrome profiles but it is there. For me, one profile with "Temporary Containers" and "Multi-Account Containers" works well enough.
