I have been using Google Chrome for about ten years now. I recently switched to Firefox and am still getting used to it. My PC functions as both my personal and business computer. With Google Chrome, I maintained several profiles—one for my Amazon and eBay stores, another for personal browsing on YouTube, music, games, etc., and a third for my wife. I really appreciated this setup. Firefox offers something similar with its 'Multi-Account Containers.' Is there a method to treat a container as an independent profile or window? Currently, I can only right-click and open a website in any chosen container, which feels a bit cumbersome. If I create a container in a separate window or page, I would like everything within it to remain accessible and stay within the original container. That would make more sense. Thanks for your assistance.

The issue of any task feeling monotonous differs from person to person. If the same activity is repeated until it becomes automatic, like breathing, you'll notice similar effects when switching web browsers. Following their advice, once everything is configured, things should run smoothly. I've experimented with Mozilla, Opera GX, and Edge, but I still prefer Chrome, even with many tabs open and high memory usage.

Make a profile, then choose one for startup or set up a shortcut on your desktop with the command " <path-to-firefox.exe> -p <profile name>"
