You get this functionality by using Firefox profiles. It's a separate browser instance with completely separated history, extension, ...

It doesn't work like containers though, you can't open a new tab in a new profile.

If you use Firefox profiles regularly, you might enjoy the Profile Switcher for Firefox add-on, which provides a Chrome-like interface for loading and managing profiles in Firefox:

Please access this link and generate interest around Firefox natively implementing the same UI/UX for Profiles as Chrome has right now:

Also there's this bug report:

Hopefully someone will listen to feedback, this time...

Considering Thunderbird still doesn't support a multi-line message list after 19 years[1], if you need that feature I suggest using the addon linked earlier because Mozilla does not move quickly.

I've stated this so many times for decades now. Profile support is something that I would literally pay towards funding support but there isnt a good way of setting up a bounty which I'll pay £100 into each month until the bounty is large enough to motivate someone to do it.

I have 10 different containers set up - profiles are too clunky for this.
