firefox-profile-switcher-connect VS finicky

Have you tried the Profile Switcher for Firefox add-on? It works just like the profile switcher on Chrome.

- Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profile-switc...

- Connector (required for add-on): https://github.com/null-dev/firefox-profile-switcher-connect...

- Source: https://github.com/null-dev/firefox-profile-switcher

The free and open source Firefox Profile Switcher extension, paired with the connector app, adds a browser profile menu to Firefox similar to the one on Chrome.

Finicky is a macOS utility that allows you to configure rules for directing URLs to different web browsers or browser profiles. Using it to direct URLs to multiple Chrome profiles at the workplace can be useful for separating work-related browsing from personal activities or for managing different projects. With this optimal way, you can gain the benefit of not wasting your time to re-do actions to make it works well with your browser sessions.

I'm currently experimenting with "link eye" from FDroid on Android. There's also [finicky](https://github.com/johnste/finicky) for MacOS.

Here's an open source solution. Set it up, forget about it. https://github.com/johnste/finicky

The workaround to disable Bing/Discover (msEdgeSidebarV2) on MacOS is to install finicky and set it as the default browser so it can launch Edge for you with customized arguments.

If you're comfortable with a terminal/some coding, Finicky is the best one I've found - https://github.com/johnste/finicky

Have you tried making a different desktop entry/shortcut for each Firefox profile and then setting a browser picker as your default browser?

Finicky will help you when you use different browsers, and/or different profiles. As a consultant I often use browser profiles to split my clients. I have a "Binx.io" profile for all Binx related work. For each client I have corresponding profiles. Let's call them "Client A" and "Client B".
