I use Firefox profiles to manage tabs because I have many open, so I keep a few different profiles. I was waiting for the new profiles feature I saw announced, but I still don’t know how to use it.

You could always use profiles, its not really new. But it required you to run Firefox with commandline options. Whats new is just an integrated graphical user interface to select and manage profiles.

It should be described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-management?redirectslug=profile-management-redirect-1&redirectlocale=en-US (updated a week ago). For some reason, clicking the account icon does not have the "Profile" submenu for me. And I am on the newest Firefox. Do you have the menu?

While true we always had them, I believe It's a different implementation, since profiles made the old way aren't accessible in the new interface.

Do you have the menu?

Yes, on version 144.0.2 on Fedora
