Finally. Have made the switch over to Firefox a few months ago and this almost made me switch back. I swap context a lot at work / home so being able to group (and minimize said group) tabs helps a lot.
Firefox has profiles, so you can further separate your work browsing from personal browsing. Each profile acts like a separate instance with it’s own history, bookmarks, addons, everything…
You can manage profiles from the About Profiles page when Firefox is open. If Firefox won’t start or you need certain options, you can also start the Profile Manager when Firefox is closed.
No, and everyone keeps recommending extensions and hacky workarounds. Wish Mozilla would gets its head out of its ass and just add a damn button that runs the firefox -p[profile] command in the browser itself so we wouldn’t need to use keep a desktop shortcut instead.

Is there a button to switch profiles?
Yeah no. There’s a reason why they have a “settings” menu even though we could technically all just edit about:config directly
