If understand your scenario, you can do that with FF, if you don't force a url to be always opened in one profile. For instance you can have sites hard-linked to specific profiles (e.g. social networks) and others that are not, so they

I'd expect proxies, CDNs, VPNs to become a common setup, although we'd have to trust these service providers not to track our traffic. TOR might be a better option for privacy, doubtful if that will ever succeed on large scale tho
