[Bug 913006] [NEW] Split profile instances

 

Public bug reported:

Browsers have profiles to save users' bookmarks, history, cookies, etc. A user
should be able to create a new window, similar to private browsing, using their
profile that would not affect the cookies in other windows using the same
profile until this instance was closed. History and bookmarks would stay in
sync, but cookies would allow the user to sign into multiple accounts on the
same service without private browsing and losing their activity.
