I’ve read about creating separate users at the OS level, but I’m hoping for something a tad lighter. Are separate Firefox profiles and/or multi-account containers a thing in any of the various Firefox spinoffs for Android?
Testing in Fennec browser, in the little kebab menu, I see an option to sign in, but that’s not what I want. I don’t see anything related to profiles. When I browse to the page for the multi-account containers extension, it says not compatible w/ Android.
Does one of the other Firefox spinoffs for Android have either of these features (profiles or multi-account containers)?
I thought that the Firefox container tabs functionality (which is amazing) was a computer browser feature only and not available on mobile.
This has been my experience so far. When I posted this question, I was hoping there was an alternative or equivalent feature for mobile that I just didn’t know about.
(Moved my comment to top level)
Weblibre has containers.
it’s not a solution but i’ve used ffupdater to install firefox nightly and fennec to sign in with personal and work sync accounts and then use linksheet as an “open in profile” type of functionality.
If you only need two, then a “light” work profile with something like Shelter might work.
I have just set my mobile Firefox to private browsing only.
Works for me because I rarely need to log in to websites on my phone (most have apps, anyway, e.g. Lemmy).
I think they probably all do. But by default they go right to a default profile without prompting you to choose. There is usually a way to create a new profile if your look in the menus.
Can you please share a specific example? I poked around in the settings for Fennec browser and could not find anything about switching profiles.
Sorry, my bad. Desktop Firefox and spinoffs has this but not Android.
