If you want profiles and not containers, you can use profiles too in Firefox, it works well (I do it on the shared family computer). It's just not what most people use profiles for in Chrome, which lacks the separation between profiles and container.

So explain me:

1. How do I set up a new profile in Firefox. In Chrome creating a new Profile takes 3 clicks and entering a name.

2. How I open two instances/windows of Firefox at the same time each with a different profile. In Chrome opening a second profile is two clicks (when Chrome is already running)

Type about:profiles in the address bar, and then you're one click away from both of your questions.

And that's the point: No normal user will ever discover that feature

Normal user don't explore the menus trying to discover the stuff they might like.

They either get hinted by someone else about “some cool feature”, or do a Google search if they know what they're looking for.
