    Reader mode: View websites in a clutter-free, easy-to-read format

    So like the original design concept of the internet before the world wide web. Yeah, that would be neat!

    I know there is a reader mode that shows text already, just wish there was something that could display the images in line with the reduced formatted text.

      Reader mode can show images as well though. I mean, it isn’t always successful in doing so - probably because there’s about a million different ways a random website could show an image - but reader mode can show images that it thinks are part of the actual content.

    Switch between profiles to organize work/personal tasks or swap users on shared devices

    yes that would be really helpful. I would prefer if sites i use at work, searches etc didn’t pop up on my personal machine and vice versa

      The feature exists on desktop, works great, but the setup is convoluted. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles There’s a way to make desktop shortcuts to easily pick profile, but I don’t remember how, it has been a few years since I needed profiles.

      Wish they had something for mobile too, that would be huge. I use my phone for both work and personal stuff all the time, not my desktop.

        You copy/make a shortcut to Firefox. Then edit the target to: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P ProfileName -no-remote where ProfileName is the name you set during the (convoluted) setup.

        -no-remote isn’t needed on the first profile you launch but is needed on subsequent profiles you want to run concurrent to the first one.

        Edit: I have up to six profiles I run at once, and I also use the Container Tabs extension.
