If I start Firefox with profile A, I might have cookies enabled by
default and the history only includes Linux links.

When using Firefox profile B, I perhaps have cookies disabled by default
and the history only includes links to audio gear.

So if I search the history for radio, I would get software related to
radio by profile A and service manuals, semiconductor vendors by profile
B, after doing research, bevor it was useful to decide what I should
bookmark.

And again, e.g. different security settings, one profile without
add-ons, the other profile perhaps with 20 add-on.

Regards,
Ralf
