I do not speak English, sorry for the inconvenience, the text has been translated by an online translator.

I have configured two profiles in my firefox browser, one of the profiles with add-ons for normal internet browsing and another profile without add-ons and with the most "appropriate" settings to browse safely in my most personal operations, mail, bank, doctor, ... I have doubts about whether the profiles are completely independent at the firefox internal processing level, I understand that at the configuration level they are different, but is my profile really "safe" it is? Does firefox not share "comun" information in internal operations?do profiles function as separate "rooms" where no information of any kind is shared or mixed? Thanks a lot.

Yes, the browser can share data thru the sync option. But only if you turn it on. You can use sync to share bookmarks, history, and passwords between your profiles without changing your add-ons status.

Hi mixtifori, as Fred mentioned, you definitely should not log both profiles into the same Firefox Account if you want to keep their data separate.

Firefox is a multi-process application. In your task/process manager, you will see anywhere from 3 to 14 processes per profile. You should be able to completely kill the processes associated with one profile, and the other should keep running without disturbance.
