Hi, all y’all!
Profile management for Firefox desktop is now on by default in the current version of Nightly. This feature allows you to separate and easily switch between aspects of your online life to improve your efficiency, privacy, and focus. (For example, I’m a proudly disabled university student who works full time as a Firefox product manager and loves rowing and musical theater, so I set up 4 Firefox profiles: medical, school, work, and personal.)
The following video demonstrates how to create and use Profiles in Nightly:
A few other important things to know:
- Profiles is in active development, and you’ll see improvements over the coming months as we iron out functional and visual bugs and polish this feature.
- This SUMO article provides additional information.
- This feature is separate from the about:profiles experience, and we currently have no plans to change how about:profiles works. You may continue to use about:profiles if that is better for your workflow.
Finally, a heartfelt THANK YOU for your feedback, ideas, and votes related to this feature so far. Your voice strongly influenced this early version and our backlog, along with extensive user research and interviews (including with members of the disability community). We know there is no “one perfect solution” and your ongoing contributions will help us ensure we’re building profiles to be useful and delightful for as many folks as possible.
We look forward to hearing from and collaborating with you,
Kim (on behalf of the Profiles Team)
