Firefox already had a profile manager, in fact it had it long before Chrome did, but it wasn't a ~~Fisher Price~~ Chrome-style interface and wasn't accessible from the main browser window.

firefox --ProfileManager was the way to get to it.

I only hope that when the update hits my distro, it doesn't mangle the profiles I already use.

Yeah that's why I said easy access - I preferred about:profiles, but in practice that was still too much of a hassle to actually use 😅

As far as I can see this is mostly separate from your existing profiles though, as in, those aren't listed in the new UI.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
