Re: Switching to per-channel profiles

I should add that there are ways to detect and work around these situations, of varying levels of difficulty and specificity*; if there's sufficient motivation I can flesh out a bug. * E.g., using server timestamps to detect whether another client is racing with us, and deciding that a profile

Re: Switching to per-channel profiles

What happens when users do that? Because they do. A variety of kinda-horrible things will happen. The two copied profiles will compete for the Sync client record. That means sent tabs will appear on one or the other, the Tabs from Other Devices list will flip-flop between each of the two

Switching to per-channel profiles

TL;DR: We should make each Firefox channel use its own profile data allowing you to run multiple channels at the same time. Running multiple channels of Firefox is currently harder than it needs to be. You can't start more than one channel at a time and either you use the same profile data for

Hi everyone, We have about 13 more weeks before the train of Firefox 57 leaves the station. Next week many of you will be at the upcoming work week, so I thought it may be a good time to have some retrospection over our progress so far, just so that you can get a good sense of how to extrapolate
