Finally. Have made the switch over to Firefox a few months ago and this almost made me switch back. I swap context a lot at work / home so being able to group (and minimize said group) tabs helps a lot.
The Multi-Account Containers extension is great for this. Each container keeps its own context, so you can be logged in to the same service twice (or more) in tabs in one window. Can set it up so that some sites will always use a certain container, or that sites in a container will always use a proxy. That is EXTREMELY useful to me.
Firefox has profiles, so you can further separate your work browsing from personal browsing. Each profile acts like a separate instance with it’s own history, bookmarks, addons, everything…
No, and everyone keeps recommending extensions and hacky workarounds. Wish Mozilla would gets its head out of its ass and just add a damn button that runs the firefox -p[profile] command in the browser itself so we wouldn’t need to use keep a desktop shortcut instead.

They said nothing about that functionality, but yes it is nice for a completely different use case.

Is there a button to switch profiles?
