- Rated 2 out of 5by adgbrshruwzawrh, 3 years agoDie Installation war sehr schwierig für mich: dabei war Homebrew bereits installiert; aber es gab immer wieder Fehlermeldungen im Terminal. Puh.
Am Ende musste ich feststellen, dass nicht wirklich das Profil gewechselt wird, sondern eine neue Instanz von Firefox startet: das hätte ich einfacher haben können – einfach Firefox mehrere Male kopieren; so hatte ich es vorher.
Trotzdem bewundere ich die Arbeit der ProgrammiererInnen. - Rated 5 out of 5by Andreas, 3 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by yobyot, 3 years agoJust what I needed to make me switch from Chrome. Works fine on M1 Mac but setup instructions work fine, as long as you read them carefully. I missed needing to link the brew-installed code to Firefox. Once I did that, everything worked great. My requests for enhancements are small: the ability to color the menu bar based on selected profile and the ability for user-uploaded profile icons.
Overall this is just a great addition to Firefox, which I haven't used in decades but am thinking of returning to because Chrome has become so, how to say it, greedy.
Thanks, @nulldev. Really appreciate the effort. - Rated 5 out of 5by itotutona, 3 years agoThis addon must be included by default in firefox like chromium profile.
- Rated 4 out of 5by røstik, 3 years agoIt's a pretty cool extension, I believe the only one of its kind. I would give it a 5 star rating if it changed the icon of the program when you do alt-tab to add your profile's icon like it happens in chrome. Thank you!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Emmanuel, 3 years agoI'm surprised that this feature is not offered by default in Firefox. Perfect to separate my different web activities. Thanks very much!

Both are open-source, so you are free to check by yourself. I'm not too great at Rust, so I can't confirm anything, but it's always good to be wary.
I'd recommend just using firefox.exe -P for now until the issues are addressed. It's a lot uglier, but it does its job - Rated 1 out of 5by WT, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by ryankhart, 3 years agoAs a recent convert from several Chromium-based browsers, I'm surprised that Firefox does not have this functionality built into the core browser. But I'm glad this exists.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14734850, 3 years agoProbably due to Firefox Update. Add-ons no longer work.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jimnsatx, 4 years agoI am pleased with this add-on. As noted by a previous reviewer, I would like to have the ability to password protect the different profiles.
