You don't need profiles in Firefox, there's a much better solution called Container Tabs. If you're using profiles to keep things like work and play separate, check it out and thank me later ;)
- Moldoteck 3y agoAfaik it's better in some ways, worse in others(addon management for example)
- ghusto 3y agoYes, addons are shared, along with their configuration. Not an issue for me, since that's what I want, but I've heard others complain about that.
- eloisant 3y agoYes I checked container tabs, but they still don't fix my issue. - I click on a Google Doc work link from Slack, I want it to open in my work profile - I click on a Google Doc link from the WhatsApp desktop app, I want it to open in my home profile With Chrome I just need to make sure that the last focused Chrome window is from the right profile. I really want to switch back to Firefox but that's blocking me.
- ghusto 3y ago> With Chrome I just need to make sure that the last focused Chrome window is from the right profile. There's a setting to always open a tab in the same container profile you click on them from. So as long as you open the page with the link in the target profile, it will open in that profile too — same as what you're saying above, I think? There's also an easy "open in new container tab" option when right clicking a tab, and "re-open this site in ..." option when clicking on the container tabs extension button.
- idonotknowwhy 3y agoI stopped using that feature because I have a personal and work Gmail, and I wanted them isolated. But there was some bug whereby every time I'd click any Google link, I'd prompt me to switch to the work container. Others online had the same issue and nobody had a solution
