Would really be great to move windows or tab groups between different profiles; Edge offers this. Sometimes you don't realize what profile you're in and you start doing stuff in your personal profile that doesn't fit there. With firefox right now there is no way to select and move any tabs, tab groups or windows to the profile that is best suited for those links.


It could be a privacy risk, though, because by directly moving a URL (and all its parameters) to another profile, it might be easy to link them together on the server side. It’s not necessarily a problem, but it’s definitely important to be aware of, since one of the main uses of profiles is precisely isolation for privacy and security.


I do it all the time I'm not sure what you are talking about.

I use Tree Style Tabs extension (obviously), so maybe the feature is coming from there?

You can definitely drag and drop a tab from one window to another, target window can be in a different profile.

You can select multiple tabs with SHIFT and then drag and drop them to the other window, no problem.


Does Edge do any more then open the same URL in another profile? In that case you can do this in Firefox by drag-and-dropping the URL.


Not even drag and drop to the window with a different profile?
