I know some others have already mentioned it, but this would be a great time to move your passwords to something more secure. I recommend Bitwarden as well. You can import you current passwords fairly easily.
Saved passwords in browsers are often stored in plain text. I would highly recommend a password manager like BitWarden. Makes transferring them easy and it’s more secure.
I don’t use separate profiles (which I reckon are analogous to accounts) - but Firefox does have a feature called ‘Container tabs’ where you can isolate a sessions cookies into a container (default ones are labelled things like Shopping, Personal, Work, etc).
However, I think these are somewhat moot now as I think Firefox handles cookies differently in some way that went over my head - so I’m doing that thing where I post a semi incorrect answer to ensure someone shows up with the correct one.
The containers are useful for having multiple accounts. Eg I have a work tab that has my work Gmail/PayPal/etc accounts logged in, so I can easily switch contexts without closing all my other tabs/windows
Just switched over to Firefox like a minute ago. So far, so good. Kinda a bummer to have to manually import my saved passwords.
Also, how are profiles handled? In Chrome, I had a separate personal and work profile. Is that easily doable in Firefox?

Container tabs are infinitely more useful than profiles, and easily one of the best features Firefox offers over other browsers

Open a new tab, type
about:profilesand then create a new profile for work/personal.
