Why does @firefox have to keep profiles hidden in “about:profiles” like they’re illegal to have. It’s quite literally the 1 feature stopping me from using it over Vivaldi. That and vertical tabs, of course

I can’t figure out how to get them to work they way I want.
I don’t store any history/cookie/cache data by default, it’s all eliminated on shutdown of the browser. So I have to put in exceptions for password managers, tickting systems and other stuff.
Like, what if I want to have whatsapp in a container? Well, if you want it to work nicely, you need to allow persistant cookies. Then it stays logged in between sessions.
But that exception is valid for all containers, not just the whatsapp container. I work for an MSP, I’ve got hundreds of accounts to the same few sites, adobe/microsoft/antivirus and they all work fine! But there’s tracking cookies for those sites too that can be stored and retrieved too.
I want per container cookie/cache exception options, because forcing a site to open in a single container isn’t viable in all circumstances. That’s why I have to use profiles.
and you are not only more than welcome to use them, but also invited to keep using the right tool for your needs :) I was actually making fun of the comment that mentioned containers, not the one I replied to.
Oh I know, I was agreeing with you!
I was outlining a problem that containers can’t (currently) solve in solidarity. Sorry, that wasn’t clear.
ah ok sorry I’m dumb hehe. Anyway this thread is interesting in suggesting some use cases I had not imagined before, which is cool, profile is the new porno mode yeah :DDD
