Firefox profiles?
1 comments

Yes, profiles would be some kind of solution but I'd like to have something more dynamic where I create/delete/clone profiles/instances on the fly.
Shouldn't actually take more than 5 minutes of you writing a few scripts.

  open: firefox --no-remote -P <profile>
  create: firefox -CreateProfile <new name>
  delete: rm -rf <location of profile>, e.g. %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\<profile name> on Windows
  clone: cp -R <location of profile> <new name>
