While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated.
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Have you used the new Profiles on Nightly as well? They look pretty neat! I might actually start using them myself.
Yep! It's absolutely fantastic. It was the main feature that I've been missing from Chrome since I made the switch years ago. Perfectly segregated environments, own logins, passwords, cookies, history, theme, ect, it works flawlessly.
The only negative, and it's incredibly minor, is it's nested behind the hamburger menu top right. It's just an extra click, but I would prefer to have a profile icon next to my pinned extensions there.
So yeah, I think if you want this functionality, you'll be extremely happy when it drops!
I did give them a try in Nightly (but I'm on release for regular use), but I do have a button there on my toolbar. You could try right-clicking on the toolbar, selecting "Customise Toolbar...", and then adding the Account button. Unfortunately, it's still in another menu under the Account button, so I think it might not even save you a click. Maybe something to suggest on Mozilla Connect?
I did have a look there, but unfortunately no dice. I couldn't see any account option. Unless I'm missing something, here's the options I have
I hadn't heard of Mozilla Connect, I'll give that a look, thanks!
Hmm, that's weird. Maybe it's already on your toolbar? For me it's a little head silouette, although I imagine it might also be your Mozilla Account avatar?
Oh sorry, I know which one you mean, the profile button yeah. It's the same number of clicks unfortunately
