Apparently, they've also released a new profile manager that's finally simpler than the clunky earlier one. This is the last feature I really need for my workflow to completely ditch Chrome.

- Missing the context menu "Open in <profile>" on URLs or pages. There's often links I want to open in different profile, and I've missed this option from Chrome.
- Existing about:profile profiles aren't importable, other than the initial profile. It looks like adding other profiles manually to the "Profiles" table of the new sqlite database in the "Profile Groups" directory works to add it to the list, but it's still somewhat broken.
- Not documented how to open links from other applications in specific profiles. Passing the profile name (obtained from about:support) to "-P" no longer works, but passing the full path to the profile to "--profile" does. It would be nice to pass just the friendly profile name.
Seems like they're just here to copy-cat Chrome's similar feature. And worse than the feature they already have, that just needs some polishing.
I simply don't understand Mozilla's desperate need to ruin this browser. Added tab groups first? Removed. Added multi-account containers first? Used for advertising VPN and then abandoned. Fights for web standards? Doesn't prepare during planning and takes years implementing them.

Is this just a temporary technical limitation / anybody know if there are plans to fix this? Why should the user need to remember which profile is synced on a given device?
