Hey Firefox, this is some feedback I have for you.
Firstly I greatly appreciate you guys listening to the feedback of your users. For example before it wasn't possible to set a "New Tab" to a custom wallpaper via the UI, but now you can do that directly from the UI.
Would it be possible to introduce the feature of having the ability to create completely different and separate Firefox profiles? I know this is possible via about:profiles, but as you know it would be way more handier to be able to do this directly via the Firefox UI.
Some would say this is already possible using the extension called "Firefox Multi-Account Containers", but this doesn't really offer the option to have a completely different profile. It's just the use of another account but all extensions and other stuff remain. So what I'm asking for is more like the ability to create a completely new profile with default settings (no extensions, bookmarks or whatever), completely separated from other profiles.
The ability to be able to create, manage and switch between different and separate profiles via the Firefox UI would be an amazing feature and would be greatly appreciated. That's it.
Thank you Firefox for always listening to your users and I am looking forward to this feature if there is a demand for it.
