Are you in touch with Noidart, the developer of Profilist (the other
profile switching add-on)?
Cheers,

I really like being able to manage my profiles within a normal firefox
tab. Awesome!
The replacement for the ProfileManager probably needs some UX work,
though. It was not clear to me which profile was actually going to be
launched if I clicked the "Start Nightly" button.

Hi all,
This week I landed a set of patches to introduce 'about:profiles'.
This page shows the list of existing profiles and gives the possibility to
create new ones, delete them, rename them, change the default one.
I wanted to work on this feature because I think having multiple profiles

I think we need to compact the new UI. The old profile manager shows me up
to 5 profiles that I can simply click on to launch the browser. With the
new UI the info for the first profile fills up the whole popup window, so
launching other profiles now requires me to scroll down, then click. That
Thanks Yoric for the note here! :)
Hi @Andrea, I was also working on HTML version since I heard that XUL is going
to go away soon. I used React. Here is a preview of the GUI, the filter feature
(by default profiles are sorted alpha-numerically ascending, that can be
changed in the options

Note that there are add-ons such as "Profile Switcher" which allow you
to display the profile manager dialog without touching the
command-line. I don't know if that qualifies as "user facing" or not.
It's certainly an advanced user feature that most people will never
see.

Hi Andrea,
This looks like a promising effort to improve profile management.
I work on the on the Firefox UX team and I do have some concerns about the
current design.
Can you tell us some more about next phases of this work before it

Very cool baku! Thank you! I just tried it out, and although I'm sure
there are many things we could do to enhance the UI/UX, this is much
better than what we had before.

It's true that it isn't a feature
In that case, perhaps the first thing to land and let ride the trains
would be a clean profile API to let add-on developers (including Andrea
and GoFaster) experiment with implementing prototype profile managers?
