I am in a bit of a pickle. I’m a developer, and I also use some crypto social media, and I also like downloading media sometimes, I do a lot of stuff. I modify CSS, I script & hack the web, yadda yadda. Basically what this means is I ended up with like 50 addons I juggle-enable-disable all the time. This is extremely frustrating without some kind of grouping them, or at the very least searching only among my installed addons to enable/disable.
Do you guys have any idea if a tool or method exists to solve this problem?
@kill How about creating a second Firefox profile dedicated to development? I did that for a different reason, to create a PDF viewer using Firefox. It has the right settings and addons only active when viewing a PDF. This idea could be used to have a dedicated development environment which does not interfere with your personal data and configuration. And you can back them up and restore individually.
Yeah, this is pretty much how family members have set up their “shopping” profiles with the coupon extensions, etc.
To add on to this, I find using the profile switcher addon makes this process a lot more painless and similar to chrome’s. The main downside of the addon is that it doesn’t work until you actually launch the browser, so no launching from desktop/taskbar with this.
The native process is clunky imo. To launch a specific profile from desktop you need a shortcut that points to a batch file that runs a command like “firefox.exe -P profilename”
