Firefox adds profiles to separate your navigation sessions

Mozilla has profiles to its Firefox web browser which facilitates the separation and organization of your online activity. Updating the profile management will take place from October 14, allowing Firefox users to create specific navigation spaces that have house signs, connections, history, extensions and themes.

Firefox already supports containers with several accounts, an extension that organizes navigation history, cookies and tracking information in dedicated tabs to maintain your more private digital footprint. The profiles allow users to organize more browser features, which facilitates the creation of separate experiences for work, projects and personal navigation.

Like account containers, each Firefox profile maintains its own separate navigation data. Individual profiles can also be personalized with specific avatars, colors and themes to distinguish them at a glance. The experience is similar to having several Google profiles in Chrome, only with more confidentiality features and without the requirement to create several accounts with dedicated email addresses.

“The profiles in Firefox are not only a way to clean your tabs. It is a way to set limits, protect your information and make the internet a little quieter,” said Mozilla in the announcement blog. “By keeping your different roles online carefully separated, you spend less mental energy to juggle contexts and avoid embarrassing surprises (like your weekend plans appearing in a work presentation).”
