Firefox has profiles, so you can further separate your work browsing from personal browsing. Each profile acts like a separate instance with it's own history, bookmarks, addons, everything...
Is there a button to switch profiles?
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:profilesexists too, but isn't really a lot better.I just leave that pinned / open all the time. Easy peasy.
Yeah no. There's a reason why they have a "settings" menu even though we could technically all just edit about:config directly
In Gnome you can right click and manage profiles
Ditto KDE
