Can you really sync between profiles with a Firefox account? According to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-management?redirectslug=profile-management-redirect-1&redirectlocale=en-US
suggest this should not be possible.
I never tried it but I assumed there would be no such arbitrary limitation. Guess I'll edit my comment, thanks!
Yeah, its surprising. But kinda makes sense if you think about it. If you have profiles and sync, why would you?
Maybe you want profiles with the same bookmarks but separate history and cookies? You can choose what to sync via a Mozilla account.
I haven't tried this newly announced switcher but maybe it also gives you the choice, offline this time.
That's where containers are for: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers
