Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.142 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

While the Firefox browser is open (private account), I wanted to launch a seperate Firefox window with a different Firefox account (work account) as is possible with Chrome.

Actual results:

Not currently possible.

Expected results:

Clicking on the Firefox account user icon in the top left of the browser window it should be possible to switch and choose a different Firefox account user to open a new window with. I would expect a similar experience as is currently possible with Chrome.

Note: Using the Firefox container plugin is not sufficient, as work passwords and data must stay seperate from the private browser data.

Hi,

Thanks for your report. This could be a nice enhancement for FF.
