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.
Comment on Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions
Mongostein@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoI knew about the containers, which I’ve been using for a long time now. How is this different?

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.

Ohhh ok yeah that makes sense. Now I’m thinking about if I want to use it… hmm
