If it's buried in about:config, it's not a feature, it's just a dev tool. (FWIW, I read that config settings may reset during updates, so at best it's just a temporary patch.)

It's like saying you have a responsive website, but only if I edit the layout in the DOM.



Nit: It's not a parameter in about:config, it's been available for a while under about:profiles, no tweak needed


And now they're rolling out a new UI for it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-management


I've been using profiles for 15 years and I didn't even know it was in about:config.

Just add -p in your shortcut to start on the profile manager.


No, you use it in the ProfileManager, which is a GUI that pops up on start.
