I read somewhere that Firefox was working on a simple Multiple accounts Addition to Firefox but I can no longer find the article. Is this true. When you start up Chrome, it asks you which account you would like to use, and switching between accounts is as simple as a click on your account icon. This feature is invaluable and the only reason i still use Chrome. I keep checking back on Firefox every month or two, just to see if they have done it yet. Anyone know if it is still happening?

Hi,

Firefox has always had a profile manager, just not setup like Chrome profiles. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles

The multi account containers ext can also work great, if you want to log into multiple accounts in the same window.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I did have a look at that profile manager, but it is Clunky, compared to Chrome, and to be honest, I just couldn't get it working right. As I said, I am sure I read somewhere that Mozilla were working on something to make it super simple like chrome. I am hoping, as I am sure everyone's aware Chrome is going to change something and stop all the add blockers, so some platform is going to inherit a hell of a lot of users very soon. So far for me its a toss up between Opera and Firefox. Operas Profile manage does work, but is also clunky, Hoping Firefox takes the lead. I also heard that opera could be dangerous, but I don't know.
