The madest thing for me is that now other browsers integrate with platform 
keyring. Why not Firefox ?
 - Since other browsers have it, political arguments are weak
 - Since Quantum overhaul, technical one are weak too. Mozilla had an 
opportunity to deal with is issue that is a *major* usability and security 
issue.

Let's say FF displays the profile in a corner like Google Chrome. Let's say 
this could be associated with a FF Sync account. On profile switch, it could 
ask for password or not, depending on a user profile locking pref.
We already know the OS user is able to unlock all FF identifier stores, because 
this is how keyring work. But with a live (vs on startup) profile management, 
FF could offer the opportunity to manage switching.

Just my 2 cents, but 12 years on, it is time to look at what other
successful browser are doing...
