		notafox 43 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Firefox profiles: Private, focused spaces for all ... Forget about UI, just use CLI `./firefox -CreateProfile "profile-name /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/profile-path/" ./firefox -profile "/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/profile-path/"` Create a separate icon for each profile and forget about:profiles interface. Disclaimer: I don't use macOS, but I'm sure it's similar to Linux in that regard. You'll need to change paths, of course.

That's great for part of HN users, just not for most Firefox users. I guess that's they already had the old interface and are making it more user friendly with the new UI :-)
