Is there a way to add a second account to firefox (like in google chrome) to have 2 separate windows, each with its own history, cookies, etc. )

or better said - I want the Firefox to be used by two persons (each separated, with its own history, cookies, etc.). It seems that Firefox doesn't support this function - Multi account containers or multiple profiles really doesn't work in this way.

Hello lome,

You can do so by creating different profiles for each user, see :
