Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Profile management is going to be useful as a web developer; having easy access to a profile without e.g. adblockers and anti-tracking settings and such to test things, while still having them all available for my regular browsing, is going to be a boon.
I've been using private windows to get add-on free windows for different things. Profiles would be much neater.
Private windows already have stricter tracker protection by default, and I also have my blocker extension enabled there as well because I do also use it for other things. And of course, all my settings apply there too. So yeah, there are existing workarounds, but as you say, this is much neater.
