    This is excellent news. This is one of the biggest features that I’ve wanted out of Firefox for years, and one of the reasons I’ve kept Chromium as a secondary browser all this time.

    I do remember seeing a community-made GitHub project that added a profile switcher to Firefox, which looked pretty good, but it also required installing an executable somewhere on the system, which I’m not exactly keen on.

    I think Zen Browser has a built-in profile switcher, but it also changes a bunch of core UI elements… I just want Firefox with a profile switcher, lol.

    Cool. I’ve been thinking they should just make that available somewhere for quite a while now, since about:profiles was already pretty usable, it was just impossible to find for normal users. But that they’re improving the user experience at the same time is quite welcome, too.

      That just means it’s in active development and will come to the beta browser soon, and then to the stable version.
