I have my personal account with my personal email setup in both my home PC and laptop. I want to setup a new user profile linked to a work email to hold those passwords and bookmarks separately, and be able to sync it when using my laptop as well. I would also like to be able to have both accounts open at the same time in different windows (i.e. a "work window" with the work account, and a "personal window" with my personal account)

Is this possible? How would I go about it? I looked around the about:profiles tab, but that seems to only configure profiles for my already logged in account (the personal one). I think that what I should do is create a new firefox account with my work email and give that account a profile, but I don't know if I can be logged in to 2 accounts at the same time, and I'm not sure Firefox will show me both profiles at startup, or only the ones linked to the currently logged in account. I haven't tried this because I'm unsure if I could lose my currently open tabs.

Hi,

First, note that we have a new profile management system that's much more user-friendly than about:profiles. If it's already available to you, you should see the Profiles option in the Firefox menu. Please check out this article for more details.

If the new profile management system is not available to you yet, please refer this article instead. Important notes: after creating a new profile, it will be automatically set as the default, which you will probably want to change. Also, you'll have to open the about:profiles to launch profiles other than the default.

No matter what profile manager you use, the profiles still let you separate work and personal browsing. You shouldn't lose any of your data. When it comes to Sync, though, if you want to sync pairs of profiles separately, you'll have to create a second Mozilla account. Sign in to one of the accounts in personal profiles on both devices, and use the second one for work profiles.

Hope that answers your question. Please feel free to reach out if you want to ask anything else. (Otherwise, please mark this reply as a solution.)
