Does Firefox on Android actually have profiles? If so, how can I either get Profile Manager to come up every time and ask which one I want to use, or else how can I get a separate launcher to launch different profiles?

I know there is sort of a work around of using e.g. mainline, beta, nightly, but I'd rather stick to mainline...

If there *is* a way to access Profile Manager etc, I think this page needs a mobile section... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles

Hi

Firefox for Android is a fundamentally different browser to the desktop equivalent. It is not possible to easily access a profile manager.
