Give me decent multi-profile support in firefox and I won't need a chromium browser anymore

Multi-profile support has been in FF since I started using it (at least 5 years ago?). The profile picker isn't as pretty as the Chrome window you get but its definitely there.

My biggest gripe with multi-profile support is that it mixes the taskbar icons in windows. There's a multi-step workaround that involves the registry and cloning programs files folders to fix this specific issue but you need to do it for each new profile and it breaks constantly with updates and doesn't work consistently even in between updates. Yes, containers solve some of the problems that chrome profiles attempt to solve but I still have a work profile and personal profile which I like to keep separate.

Unless there's a way to create containers that also disable extensions in their context I will always need multiple profiles.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

same, but it does have a warning: "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions."

No, it does not. Firefox still fully supports those manifest v2 handles.

My response was to a comment that it's still available on chrome store. I no longer see that comment.

Assuming it was deleted, does HN change parent comments if parent was deleted? - that's misleading.

I didn't comment on firefox at all.

Another alternative is to use Brave Browser

Wdym? It’s also a chromium browser i.e. it’ll lose uBlock as well eventually

"For as long as we’re able (and assuming the cooperation of the extension authors), Brave will continue to support some privacy-relevant MV2 extensions—specifically AdGuard, NoScript, uBlock Origin, and uMatrix"

Have you looked into Firefox Multi-Account Containers[1]? It met all my needs for multiple profiles. I use it to have multiple concurrent sessions for different sites (eg: one AWS account/role per container). [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

Container tabs are the main think that keep me on FF (well LibreWolf) rather than switching to Brave. I find them indispensable.
