- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Iudicium, 2 μήνες πρινRequires following advice from other commenters and applying some elbow grease to make this addon working, but after doing that, it works perfectly like how it is in Google Chrome. This should really be a core feature that should be included in Firefox.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 18452495, 5 μήνες πρινWill work but only after applying the small workaround described in issue#14 of the 'connector' repo:

- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Zach, 5 μήνες πρινWorks on macOS May 2025 but requires the workaround as described in github directory issue 106.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Man, 7 μήνες πρινDoesn't work on firefox dev's and regular options, but works on Floorp (Firefox fork) which I use
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 18656237, ένας χρόνος πρινWorks alright BUT you need a bit of tinkering. Basically, Firefox already has support for profiles. The problem is, you have to go on "about:profiles" and this is NOT user friendly at all. This extension make it so that you have an easy access to these profiles à-la Google Chrome. The catch though, is that you have to follow the little wizard provided by the extension once installed. The wizard makes you install a little program needed for the extension to actually work, otherwise you would see your profiles but clicking on them would not work. You have to create a simple config file to provide the right path to Firefox executable and voilà. Works wonder after that.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Dream, ένας χρόνος πρινThe add-on is outdated but I have good news for you. Firefox announced that Profile Management System will soon be added to the Firefox Browser.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 18639698, ένας χρόνος πρινguys, you dont need this:
go to about:config in address bar
type browser.profiles.enabled to true.
it works as you expect natively - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur p4tr1ck, ένας χρόνος πρινsuite aux probleme de fonctionnement et suivant une methode citez ailleur dans les commentaire mais sous windowNoté (par Zein Adi, il y a un an):
sous linux :
dans .config/firefoxprofileswitcher/ ajouter un fichier config.json inserer "browser_binary": "/usr/bin/firefox"} sauvegarder .
relancer fx - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Lauren, 2 χρόνια πρινThis is a fantastic add-on that really helps me use Firefox in the multiple ways I need to without having to log in and sync multiple Mozilla profiles, however, it's currently malfunctioning (23-Mar-2024). Thanks to olivrrstray's review I was able to get back in and I concur with JavitoPlay, the dev is most likely working to update it.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur JavitoPlay, 2 χρόνια πρινNow its broken the "click" on the profiles, but you can go to edit profiles, and "set as default" to open the profiles you had keep.
I suppose the developer is working to fix it
In general, this extension its great. - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur olivrrstray, 2 χρόνια πρινBroken with the March 19th update, 124.0.
Edit:
For the more tech savvy, there is a workaround on Issues tab on the Github page.
For the less tech savvy who have Windows:
1. Hit Windows + R.
2. Put "%APPDATA%\nulldev\FirefoxProfileSwitcher\config\" in the prompt, and hit "ok." This will open the folder with configuration files.
3. Copy the path; this is the address in the top bar. It should look similar to this:
C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\nulldev\FirefoxProfileSwitcher\config
4. Open the notepad app, create a new file. Paste the following text in the notepad:
{"browser_binary": "C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"}
5. Open the File menu, click Save As.
6. In the address bar, paste the address you saw before, and change "Save as type" from Text documents to all files. You should see files like "avatar.json"
7. Save the file as: config.json
8. Reopen Firefox - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Nazmond, 2 χρόνια πρινWas working well but now unresponsive, cannot access my other profile.
Update - fixed it thanks to olivrrstray's short guide. - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 17504116, 2 χρόνια πριν
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 18334926, 2 χρόνια πρινIt worked fine until Firefox version 124. Now it doesn't react on when I want to switch profile.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Jonathan Lee, 2 χρόνια πρινWorks well but requires some initial setup and basic knowledge of how Firefox profiles work. It would be nice if this extension allowed users to upload their own profile picture and/or offered the option of using each Firefox account's avatar as the profile picture.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 13518975, 2 χρόνια πρινVery good addon, simple and straightforward. Only 4 stars because I couldn't figure out a way to pick my own profile picture, which would make it perfect IMO. Should be a native part of Firefox.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Alexxr06, 3 χρόνια πριν
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Win Lawson, 3 χρόνια πρινThis is a functional add on its good enough that it should be a default part of firefox. I deducted a star because I would like to be able to choose my own profile pictures instead of the ones presupplied. (Maybe this is possible by finding a directory somewhere but this shouldnt have to be difficult)
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur AtumCor, 3 χρόνια πρινGreat extensions, exactically what I wanted. It would be great to be able to use custom photos for those profiles though. Hope that comes out soon.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Natnie, 3 χρόνια πρινIt's really useful for me as I have two different Etsy stores and this is the easiest way to be logged into both rather than having to log out and in all the time. Among other purposes. The main issue I have is that I would really like to be able to use my own images for the icons and there doesn't seem to be a way to do that. It's a minor issue but as someone who likes to customise everything to the hilt it's just one of those things that bothers me whenever I switch profiles.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur røstik, 4 χρόνια πρινIt'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!
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Jimnsatx, 4 χρόνια πρινI 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.
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Ariness, 4 χρόνια πρινThis 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.
