Firefox Profiles for Work and Home 👤

I'm managing two Firefoxes on my laptop: one for work and one for after work. A feature that supports this well is Firefox profiles. Visit them in Firefox by typing about:profiles into the browser bar.

These work like Chrome People-- separate sessions, histories, bookmarks, etc. I have styled the two browsers a little differently so I can quickly tell them apart.

I used to use Incognito/Private Windows for this setup, but those aren't great for long-running browser sessions, because when you close or crash the browser, anything you've done in that browser is gone. Profiles give me the isolation I need with some persistence, too.
