If you use multiple profiles (e.g. i have a "personal" and a "work" profile), the experience is pretty bad -- if you close all windows of one profile, it considers itself as "exited" and overwrites the program files. And then your other profile windows no longer work: any page navigation results in "We're sorry, we just need to do one small thing" and a required restart of your browser.
It's still my favorite browser though.
- soapdog 5y agoYou could use Firefox Containers for that.
- arepublicadoceu 5y agoContainers is amazing but is missing one key feature: addons isolation. My Profile A have only ublock + bitwarden installed (my most trusted extensions) My Profile B have random useful extensions for sites like reddit and youtube that I don't necessarily trust but I don't care if only reddit data or my unlogged youtube profile gets compromised as it doesn't mix with my personal profile. I know that there's a permission system for addons but it's ridiculously bad as many extensions simply need/want permission for all your browsing data or access to all your tabs, history, etc.

- mkl 5y ago> "We're sorry, we just need to do one small thing" I get that even with a single profile. It's infuriating, because it happens when I go to a new site, and that new site is often not restored after it restarts - sometimes I lose it completely.
