Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can run the profile manager from the terminal with `firefox --profilemanager` and manage the profiles from there Then you can create separate 'shortcuts' for each profile with this `firefox --profile [path to the profile]` This is a workaround for the lack of proper UI, maybe mozilla will make a better UI if users start asking for it

If all you want to do is separation of data on same site. I think the container is the better way to go. Although the profile still serves different purpose from container (like you can have different Firefox account linked/ different extension installed)

I actually want the kind of UI chromium provides, where I can see from the background color directly in which "mode" I'm in. This makes it easier to separate work from non-work.

*Off-topic:* I've experimented with a new layout in Firefox, and now I can't think of going back. I first installed Tree Style Tab. I then removed the tabs at the top of the window and added a permanent status bar to the bottom of the window using userChrome.css: https://i.imgur.com/PIONywj.png (edited to add, my userChrome.css: https://gist.github.com/anthonyclarka2/155c038de96e91894cbd4... ) (EDIT: I added some ext…

I tried this too, but as Mozilla has no regard for any customization that are not done via the official graphical configuration interface (and sometimes not even that, considering how the compact UI mode is being removed), you'll have to find out how to fix it every time you update your browser.

I don't think I've ever updated my userChrome.css file, certainly not in the past few years. The browser chrome is pretty stable since this is how the browser itself is styled, so outside of big UI updates like Proton (which didn't even impact my own css) the chance of breakage is pretty slim.

This sent me down a good rabbit hole. Ended up finding a simpler userChrome.css that removed the native tabs. I'm sure yours does a lot more cleaning up of the UI but the following worked well for me: https://github.com/taylorsilva/dotfiles#hide-firefoxs-native...

Off topic question on off topic comment: HN, what are your thoughts on Sidebery? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/

Didn't know about this! Looks so much cleaner than the other extension

Color me shocked. Why does anyone use Chrome anymore? Firefox is better in every way, and it isn’t tied to the biggest data harvester the world has ever known.

> Firefox is better in every way

That has been my experience as well

It looks really slick, I'll have to look closer at it before giving an opinion.

my favourite feature of tree style tab is coloring tabs based on content: yellow search, orange news, green internal stuff etc

I forgot that this was an option provided by a different extension, was very confused for a moment.

Definitely going to give that a try, thank you!

Are people really that adamant about blocking ads on the web? I don't understand why people think it's a good idea to remove the primary source of revenue for content creators. At the most it amounts to a very mild annoyance and ads also help small businesses to grow. Edit: I'd appreciate it if someone could respond to the points I made rather than simply complain about why they don't like ads.

I'm going to back up the GP on this! HN users tend to get annoyed by (1) ads, (2) paywalls, and (3) articles without enough research (aka time aka money). I'm cognizant of the fact that HN isn't a hive mind, and so these complaints aren't necessarily coming from the same people—but some certainly are. Well, which is it? Or do we expect content creators to work for free? If we have to pick a poison—and, well, I think…

There is another unpleasant option, that of 'sponsored content', AKA 'advertorials', AKA 'native advertising', AKA 'propaganda'.

Oh that is really nice and simple, yeah.
