I would like to be able to have two Firefox accounts available at the same time on iOS. Each account has different sets of bookmarks/logins.

I think the easiest way to do this on IOS would be to install Firefox Focus and just log into a different profile within that browser, and keep it separate from your default Firefox profile. Otherwise, you can't log into multiple profiles at the same time on Firefox IOS :(. You'd have to log out and log back in to the second profile each time you wanted access to the other bookmarks etc.

This is actually what I have already tried (because I use same approach on Android with Firefox+FirefoxBeta). However, in Firefox Focus I don't see where I can login in an account at all. In regular Firefox there is a setting for account, but Focus doesn't seem to have it.

Also, another thing I tried, is to login in regular iOS Firefox using profile 1, and then login using profile 2, hoping that it would memorize both and allow me to quickly switch. This is not the case. But this also had a quite annoying effect - all my bookmarks & logins from profile 1 were added to profile 2 and also vice versa. This must be a bug.

Hi

Yes, Firefox Focus for iOS does not currently have any way to connect to Firefox Account.

I think that the best way to do what you are looking for is to use one account on one copy of Firefox for iOS and then sign up for the Beta build through the link at https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/channel/ios/ .

Although this is a beta and may therefore have one or two unresolved issues, this should allow you to run two separate Firefox Accounts on the same device.

That does sound like the best solution, practically the same as what i employ on Android (I wish Firefox had the same capabilities on iOS as on Android :-)). I don't mind the occasional bug in the beta and would gladly report any encountered bugs. I just applied, let's see if i can actually get into TestFlight.

It sounds good, but i would mark it as solved once I can confirm that it actually works on iOS beta.

Thank you.
