I think we need to compact the new UI. The old profile manager shows me up to 5 profiles that I can simply click on to launch the browser. With the new UI the info for the first profile fills up the whole popup window, so launching other profiles now requires me to scroll down, then click. That sounds minor (and in some sense it is) but 95% of the time the profile manager is launched to select which profile to run (versus trying to find where the profile is stored on disk, etc), so making that a slower experience seems like a step backward.
It's great to see it running as a normal tab, though! Do we have any plans to make Profile manager more prominent in our user experience? I've used it for years now to keep one instance of firefox running with work stuff, and one for personal use. But it remains a buried secret, when it's really handy for a lot of use cases (people sharing a computer, etc). I know a lot of people who wind up using different browsers to achieve the same thing, which seems like a waste.
