Great, so why I can't just do this from within the Firefox UI in a nice way? I use terminal/CLI stuff all the time, but when it comes to my GUI desktop I would rather avoid this kind of messing around. Plus, it's definitely not going to get people to switch from Chrome.

Eh... just from reading this comments section and the way people would want to use profiles (instead of containers), I'm ok with the feature being obfuscated.

You can, just go to the `about:profiles` page.

Given that it's only enabling multiple profiles that require such a step (afterward you get a GUI prompt at start-up), you just Google “how to Firefox profiles” once, follow the steps and call it a day. In fact, most people would need to do the same googling if they wanted to use multiple chrome profiles as well…
