Is there an easy way to run two profiles of firefox simultaneously? As it stands I use FF with a bunch of extensions that limit what it can do (uMatrix, cookie zappers, etc.) and then occasionally when I just want to quickly view something I open it in chromium (and I also use it for youtube). But if they're going to cripple ad blockers (among other things) I'd rather just do it all in firefox

Start one of them with
I do this to run the beta and the stable version at the same time.More details here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-...
thank you
Best solution i found is to have normal firefox + Firefox Developer Edition
They use separated profiles (you could sync them to same if you wanted)
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/
You can run:
firefox -no-remote -profile ./ff
It will create the folder and a new Firefox profile there
Optionally you can download Firefox portable
Create a shortcut to firefox using the command
firefox -P
whenever you launch it you'll be presented with a dialog to pick a profile or create a new one.
