Go to your "mozilla/firefox" folder, and locate the file "profile.ini". On linux the path is
~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
It is a regular text file. And here's a shortcut for you:
$ nano ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
Once you've opened it, find this line:
StartWithLastProfile=1
- edit 1 to become 0 in stead, then save[0]. You only need to do this once.
Added: After this edit you will be able to choose a profile on each launch (forgot that little detail). Also, Thunderbird works the same way if you want a set of alternative profiles for your email.
[0] To save: [ctrl]+[s] or [ctrl]+[o]. To exit [ctrl]+[x] (can't assume everyone knows nano)
- nytesky 3y agoI really appreciate the detailed tutorial and I will use this, but this is kind of illustrating the problem with Firefox. And yeah the Profiles are not automatically associated with Mozilla accounts, you have to setup each separately per profile I think. Or use containers — which are amazing but another complex use case for the average user compared to chrome sync experience.
