I knew about the containers, which I’ve been using for a long time now. How is this different?
Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 weeks agoyou don’t like about:profiles?
- Mongostein@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago- RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago- You can have a whole other instance of Firefox with different settings, extensions, themes, logins, bookmarks, history… - It’s really handy imo to have a school/work profile with relevant bookmarks, history, extensions and then have a separate personal profile for all my personal shizz. - Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago- Ohhh ok yeah that makes sense. Now I’m thinking about if I want to use it… hmm 
 
- fitgse@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago- Profiles can have separate settings which is nice. I heavily use tab containers, but the site used for online grad school requires 3rd party cookies for any of the embedded content to work. So I have a separate school profile that has 3rd party cookies enabled. 
 
- gerryflap@feddit.nl 3 weeks ago- I want to use it but I keep forgetting it exists. Something like this should just be accessible via button in the UI so no-one misses it 
- Dultas@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago- You can add -P to the shortcut to launch straight to the profile manager. Have to have no running instances when you do though. 
- RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago- I don’t find it or using the profile manager as convenient as what Chrome has 
- Dultas@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago- Just need it on mobile.

Been using it for years.
Been using multi account containers [1] for a couple weeks, complete with per-tab-SSL vpns.

I use them all the time, they’re great. I learned about it from another random Lemmy comment

I’ve been using it for years, too. I have it on my bookmarks bar, but this will certainly be better, I’d think.

Next they’re gonna tell me they haven’t heard of about:processes either
about:config has all the fame…
