Firefox 144 Brings the Profile Manager You’ve Been Waiting For

Managing multiple profiles in Firefox has always been tricky, with no built-in option to switch between them easily. Mozilla is finally fixing this in the upcoming update, so here’s what you should know.

Firefox Finally Makes Multiple Profiles Easy

Firefox 144 to Bring Built-In Profile Management

Until now, users had to rely on the about:profiles page or launch the browser with the firefox -P command, neither of which offered a friendly experience.

The company is rolling out a new, native profile management feature that will make it easy to add, remove, and switch between profiles right inside Firefox.

Meanwhile, Chrome is testing a feature that lets websites detect your device’s power level, highlighting how differently each browser approaches user optimization.

The update is set to arrive with Firefox 144 on October 14, introducing the feature to a limited group of users first. This marks one of Mozilla’s most user-requested quality-of-life improvements in years.

Firefox also recently refreshed its tab design to better match Windows 11’s rounded aesthetic, showing Mozilla’s commitment to modernizing the browser experience.

Speaking of browsers, Chrome’s next update may also introduce smarter AI-powered features for new tabs, showing that major browsers are racing to enhance usability.
