I use different profiles for that... basically, I have multiple Firefox shortcuts, each using a different profile. You can also use containers with the profile to segregate things even more.

I wish Firefox had better (chrome-level) support for containers. There's various small QoL things that add up to make them a much more usable feature.

At the very least, exposing them via webextension APIs would let developers take care of it themselves.

While Firefox doesn't have WebExtension APIs for browser profiles, the Profile Switcher for Firefox extension uses a separately installed connector binary to add a profile switcher (similar to Chrome's) in Firefox. See my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28356472
