How to identify which Firefox instance owns the opened Bookmark Manager?

பயர்பாக்ஸ் Profiles

The topic chosen is the best of a 'bad' list.

I have started using the Multiple Profiles feature in Firefox.

If I have two instances of Firefox running and I open the Bookmark Manager in both instances there is no obvious indicator as to which Firefox instance a Bookmark Manager belongs.

I have currently created a folder within the Bookmarks Menu folder that has been given the same name as the profile. Is there a better way?

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this up! I don't think Firefox has any dedicated built-in way to help with that, but I've filed an enhancement request for the devs (bug 2045114).
