- Rated 5 out of 5by yobyot, 3 years agoJust what I needed to make me switch from Chrome. Works fine on M1 Mac but setup instructions work fine, as long as you read them carefully. I missed needing to link the brew-installed code to Firefox. Once I did that, everything worked great. My requests for enhancements are small: the ability to color the menu bar based on selected profile and the ability for user-uploaded profile icons.
Overall this is just a great addition to Firefox, which I haven't used in decades but am thinking of returning to because Chrome has become so, how to say it, greedy.
Thanks, @nulldev. Really appreciate the effort. - Rated 5 out of 5by itotutona, 3 years agoThis addon must be included by default in firefox like chromium profile.
- Rated 4 out of 5by røstik, 3 years agoIt's a pretty cool extension, I believe the only one of its kind. I would give it a 5 star rating if it changed the icon of the program when you do alt-tab to add your profile's icon like it happens in chrome. Thank you!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Emmanuel, 3 years agoI'm surprised that this feature is not offered by default in Firefox. Perfect to separate my different web activities. Thanks very much!

Both are open-source, so you are free to check by yourself. I'm not too great at Rust, so I can't confirm anything, but it's always good to be wary.
I'd recommend just using firefox.exe -P for now until the issues are addressed. It's a lot uglier, but it does its job - Rated 1 out of 5by WT, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by ryankhart, 3 years agoAs a recent convert from several Chromium-based browsers, I'm surprised that Firefox does not have this functionality built into the core browser. But I'm glad this exists.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14734850, 3 years agoProbably due to Firefox Update. Add-ons no longer work.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jimnsatx, 3 years agoI am pleased with this add-on. As noted by a previous reviewer, I would like to have the ability to password protect the different profiles.

- Rated 3 out of 5by KTTTTN, 3 years agoI'd love to see this as the solution to password protect access to profiles.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Ariness, 3 years agoThis is amazing. It is the main feature that I have been wanting in Firefox for ages. It is only missing 2 things, adding the first one will improve my review to 5 stars. Please have this add-on change the icons on the taskbar or dock to match the profile icons so we can quickly tell which Firefox window is which profile when the windows are hidden behind other windows. Also, please add keyboard shortcuts for switching profiles. Great work, I love what you have done with this already.
- Rated 5 out of 5by E!, 3 years agoExtensions works great, although it would be awesome if it had shortcut keys and be able to switch to other profiles only with the keyboard.
