The ability to open more than one Firefox profiles simultaneously

[ava]

Firefox should have an option to open multiple instances having separate profiles. Instances should not share any user data.

Edit: The ability to open more than one Firefox profiles simultaneously

Firefox should be able to open multiple profiles simultaneously. All profiles should have their own seperate containers. The cookie created in one profile cannot be accessed by any other profile. No user data should be shared among the profiles, containers.

One solution to do this is to use nested tabs. That is the first layer of tabs should be for profiles. And each profile than will be having normal web page tabs with in them.

If you thick it is a good idea make it happen.

This feature already exists: Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profile.

You already can open multiple profiles either directly (for example by adding shortcuts to your system toolbar) or by opening the ProfileManager first.

If I understand your question correctly, you can use Firefox containers to do exactly that. Each container can have information about one particular profile.

Other solution to do this is to ask to pickup a proprofile whenever we open new instance of firefox from apps start menu.
