    mainly to separate different activities

    Firefox has profiles AND container tabs for exactly this though.

        I’m talking about the browser user profiles, where your user data (bookmarks, passwords, extensions) is stored.

        Firefox puts them into profiles so that you can change between those sets, as if you’re a different user, without changing user accounts at the OS level.

        This isn’t about online accounts.

            Yep, Mozilla doesn’t tie your Firefox settings to your Mozilla account. It does require it for syncing between devices though.

            Glad to get people to understand Firefox better. Hope my comment didn’t come out as too crass or anything 😅
