Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions
Mozilla is introducing profiles to its Firefox web browser that make it easier to separate and organize your online activity. The profile management update will roll out starting October 14th, allowing Firefox users to create specific browsing spaces that house bookmarks, logins, history, extensions, and themes.
Firefox already supports multi-account containers, an extension that organizes browsing history, cookies, and tracking information into dedicated tabs to keep your digital footprint more private. Profiles allow users to organize more browser features, however, making it easier to create separate experiences for work, projects, and personal browsing.
Like account containers, each Firefox profile keeps its own browsing data separate. Individual profiles can also be customized with specific avatars, colors, and themes to make them distinguishable at a glance. The experience is similar to having multiple Google profiles in Chrome, only with more privacy features and without the requirement of creating multiple accounts with dedicated email addresses.
“Profiles in Firefox aren’t just a way to clean up your tabs. They’re a way to set boundaries, protect your information, and make the internet a little calmer,” Mozilla said in the announcement blog. “By keeping your different roles online neatly separate, you spend less mental energy juggling contexts and avoid awkward surprises (like your weekend plans popping up in a work presentation).”
