  Mozilla’s “Multi-Account Containers” extension on Firefox does a much better job at the multiple profiles feature you’ve described.

    I miss the tab grouping from Chrome based browsers in Firefox.

    An I think tab containers don’t provide the separation I need to properly separate work from private.

      You might be better off using a custom Firefox profile for that then. Not too well integrated UI-wise sadly though

        That’s essentially how this sub-thread started 😁

  You can do that in Chrome too, if you have multiple chrome profiles right clicking on links give you the option to open it in a different profiles window

    Yes, but with “external” I meant opening links from other apps like Slack.

      Yeah that’s what I mainly used it for. I would right click links on slack and make sure it would open on my work profile or not depending on the context of the link.

      Although this could potentially have been when I used the web app rather than the installed app, so i may be misremembering

        In the WebApp this would work. Across apps it’s a different story, since they just invoke a system command to open the URL in the associated application. From there it’s in the hands of that application, how to deal with it.

  It’s like they want to drive away the experienced users who don’t need their hands held and rarely need support to focus on the part of the market that will still find ways to break things no matter how much they dumb it down.

  One very nice feature is that when you use multiple profiles, you can specify in which of those external links open in.

  is this similar to Firefox containers? dunno why mozzila makes it as a plugin and hasn’t bundled it in yet as a standard feature, literally can’t live without it.

    Not quite. Let’s say I have two profiles: “work” and “private”. If I have both open at the same time, they are separate browser windows with different tabs, different settings and different extentions.

    I can now specify that external links open in “work”. If I now click on a link in Slack or in Thunderbird, they open up in the window with the “work” profile, even if the “private” window was the last active one.
