Some issues with the profile manager (at least on macos):ġ. Most users are not familiar with command line options, and it is tedious to manually create shortcuts for opening each profile. Having a user-friendly interface in Firefox like the Chrome profile manager would be ideal. It's only briefly mentioned in a separate help page that's not linked from the other help page ( ).Įxplaining the "-no-remote" command line option in the main Firefox help page about the Profile Manager would be a good start. I see that the "-no-remote" command line option is documented in the MDN web docs ( ) but not in the main Firefox support page about the Profile Manager ( ). Thanks to everyone who pointed out the "-no-remote" command line option. It would be better to have a profile manager built in, similar to how Chrome does it, so that users like me can operate multiple profiles without needing to manage separate installations of Firefox.Įdit: Looks like I was wrong about having to manage separate installations of Firefox.

Currently, the only way to use multiple profiles at the same time is to install a different channel of Firefox (Release, Beta, Nightly, etc.) for each profile. I'd like to have a way to use another profile in a separate window, without the ad blocking extension and with Enhanced Tracking Protection disabled, so that I can access sites that don't like ad blockers without compromising my privacy in my main profile. I use an ad blocking extension and enable Enhanced Tracking Protection in my main profile, but these privacy measures can prevent some sites from working properly. Firefox needs an easy way to let users operate multiple profiles in different browser windows at the same time.
