@TabbsTheBat i did not use firefox long time, but usually --ProfileManager allowed to manage profiles. In old firefox android versions (which was xul-based) it was possible to enable profile manager by editing configurations
I just can’t imagine for what purposes a browser would need a profile (though tbf at this point I have multiple features purposely disabled on firefox, cause I found them to just be clutter)
@TabbsTheBat multiple isolated instances of sites cookies/storages/settings? Yes, you can use conatiners, but creating second profile usually is easier
@TabbsTheBat for example, some site stopped working and you may want to check it with clean profile. But do not want to clean you main profile. You may try private window, but what if site does not work in private window? Or you need to keep it’s data anyway
Hey, if a company wants me to browse work stuff at home, they’d better be buying me a company pc /j
I guess if you’re self employed and care about keeping that separate that would be a use for someone. For me personally I still have no real need for them lol
I use Firefox for both, I won’t use the YouTube app. Mobile site is way better, except they fucked the home page with social media style posts instead of just videos all the way down.
Also if you don’t have premium, mobile Firefox has ad block.
Firefox has profiles? x3

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if I don’t see a point to profiles bold of you to assume I’d see a point in that either x3

So basically just troubleshooting? x3
I mean… I guess that’s a use for it. I’d rather not bother making profiles until I need one tho
Well, you can also use them, if two people share the same PC and OS account, but don’t want to share the same history/bookmarks etc…
Or if you want to keep your personal stuff separate from your work stuff.

It’s good for sync. Walked inside with a video on my phone? Video is better on laptop, so it’ll just open up my phone tab on my laptop.
Fair x3… I just do that with my youtube account, instead of a browser one :3
Though I also use a different browser on mobile

I use a separate profile for work vs personal stuff
