Is there a button to switch profiles?

[-] micka190@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

No, and everyone keeps recommending extensions and hacky workarounds. Wish Mozilla would gets its head out of its ass and just add a damn button that runs the firefox -p [profile] command in the browser itself so we wouldn't need to use keep a desktop shortcut instead.

They really should just add a button. I usually just type in about:profiles in the address bar and select the profile I'll use.

about:profiles exists too, but isn't really a lot better.

I just leave that pinned / open all the time. Easy peasy.

You can manage profiles from the About Profiles page when Firefox is open. If Firefox won't start or you need certain options, you can also start the Profile Manager when Firefox is closed.

Yeah no. There's a reason why they have a "settings" menu even though we could technically all just edit about:config directly

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

In Gnome you can right click and manage profiles
