If you want the exact equivalent, use Firefox profiles (-p at startup, or install the profile switcher addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profile-switcher/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profile-switc...). But Firefox has a much better feature: tab containers. You can attach a label to a tab, and only tabs sharing this label will share states, such as cookies, cache, localstorage and so on. This means you don't need to open a new window. You can have 2 HN accounts with each a different user logged in, in 2 tabs, next to each other, distinguishable with a color. You can use it by activating a few settings in about:config (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers#w_for-advanced-users https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers#w_for-advanc...), but the easiest way it to use the addon : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/multi-account-co...

Tab Containers are a nice feature, but aren't quite there yet. For example, history is currently not isolated per container: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/1826 https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/1... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283320 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283320 Multiple browser profiles also let me have one profile for work, another one for personal stuff, and yet another one only with stuff like vue/react/svelte dev tools and remote debugging enabled, and _then_ decide which one to open at any given time. This instead of opening every container at once, or something like selectively opening a bunch of bookmarks manually into a specific container (I use buku to manage and sync my bookmarks too, so no tab container support there).
