> But multiple profiles may not be necessary. True.
If you don't mind using the browser's default downloads location, then you don't need profiles. If your typical browsing and downloading behavior is the same for TW purposes as it is for everyday browsing and downloading purposes, again, you don't need profiles. However, if you want *different* behaviors for TW purposes and regular web browsing, you'll need two (or more) *different* profiles. In my case, 1 - I want my TWs to always save to a specific location (*not* the default location) - and I don't want it to *ask me* each time. 2 - I want my regular web browsing to always *ask me* where to save a download which cannot be achieved using a single (default) profile, hence, I use multiple profiles so I can have both 1 and 2 depending on whether I'm using TW or not. My day job involves using (testing with) multiple browsers - Chrome Canary, IE, Edge and Firefox. In the case of Firefox, it's also my preferred everyday browser and my "go to" dev browser (using Firefox Nightly). AND it's my preferred TW browser. So, in the case of Firefox, I absolutely need multiple profiles and not just for the reasons stated above (e.g. I don't want my Nightly "polluted" with a ton of addons - it's for testing code so needs to be "clean"). Anyway... I'm starting to ramble :) Coda On Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 8:20:18 AM UTC-5, Mark S. wrote: > > But multiple profiles may not be necessary.
