Firefox does profiles too.

  This is that.

    Containers != profiles
• baggy_trough 4y ago
  But only with command line switches and relaunching, right?

    Yes and from within the browser about:profiles And you can edit the shortcut to ask you which profile you want to use when you start Firefox.

    Never used command line for profiles, I'd just go type "about:profiles" > "Launch profile in new browser". This opens a new window with that profile, but you can switch between each window at will. The lack of discoverability of that "about:profiles" page is indeed a UX issue compared to chrome, but other that that it works pretty well. For most use cases, I find the more lightweight multi-account-containers more useful though.

    You can create .desktop files (or the equivalent in other OSs) for the profiles to open them like normal apps.

  yup you log into a profile and then the containers and its profiles and settings are a child of that so you can use containers on different devices with same settings and containers
