Fuck. Just when I got used to Chromium due its nice profiles feature. Sigh. Back to Firefox then. Or perhaps I should just stop using the web for anything exce

  You can run the profile manager from the terminal with `firefox --profilemanager` and manage the profiles from there Then you can create separate 'shortcuts' for each profile with this `firefox --profile [path to the profile]` This is a workaround for the lack of proper UI, maybe mozilla will make a better UI if users start asking for it

    As pointed in the answer above on a similar question there is 'about:profiles' internal page in Firefox, so one can manage all the profiles (add/remove/rename/etc) and then during normal start of Firefox select which one is needed to be started.

    If all you want to do is separation of data on same site. I think the container is the better way to go. Although the profile still serves different purpose from container (like you can have different Firefox account linked/ different extension installed)

      I actually want the kind of UI chromium provides, where I can see from the background color directly in which "mode" I'm in. This makes it easier to separate work from non-work.

        That's exactly what Firefox containers do. I have a different color for each one.

          I've used containers and I feel what they do is not exactly what I want. I actually want a separate instance of the whole browser.

  Firefox containers are way better than profiles.
