Details

Actual results:

Despite being a well known useful feature from quite some time, Firefox's profile manager menu can still only be accessed by users by typing "about:profiles" on the address bar, which is an obscure method for most people

Expected results:

Firefox profile manager menu should have its own icon on the toolbar menu (as most current web browsers do) and Profile manager page should be redesigned to be more user friendly

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi,

Thank you for opening this enhancement. I will set this accordingly, as New.

Thanks for your input.

Ever confirmed: true

We think we want to improve profile management at some point but it's not clear in exactly what way. Bug 1542189 is probably the closest approximation here.
