Description Joakim Tjernlund 2025-03-07 10:09:14 UTC
In about:profile I can create profiles and then I am supposed to select
profile in my account menu but there is no Profile at all in that menu.

Been looking around and cannot find a way to switch profile inside FF.
Only way is when starting: firefox --profilemanager

I am starting to think this might be how FF is built on Gentoo?

Could you show a screenshot inside your "about:profiles"? There's supposed to be "Set as default profile" and "Launch new Firefox instance with this profile" buttons.

If you load your current profile to firefox-bin, does it work any better?

I don't think any of the use flags could cause this. Your own hardening prefs and/or organization policy perhaps, but you'd probably be aware of any if you've introduced such.

Found the buttons there.
I expected them to be elsewhere though, in my account menu for easy access
