@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone Me too. At least I used to have a separate profile for PDF viewing, which had its own plugins installed. It can be done by using commandline options to select what profile to use, like in --profile or -P (i forgot which of them I used actually). Just created a script for it (Bash script in Linux) and associated PDF files with it as if it was a separate program.

What they mean in the article is probably its not possible with the GUI only of Firefox. They totally ignored the commandline options.
