[Bug 913006] Re: Split profile instances

 

I would like to have this option too. (Its really useful, if you are a
web dev.) It shouldn't be too hard to implement after the new tab
management is finished.

The things I'm not sure about:
 - Should this be the default behavior or is there any use case in which a shared cookie storage makes sense?
 - What should happen if a tab is moved between windows? Delete the cookies, take them over or ask the user? (Dunno which option is actually possible to implement.)

Bug description:
  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.
