The Mozilla Firefox 118 web browser is now available for download ahead of its official release on September 26th, when it will be rolling out to various of the supported platforms.
I consider Firefox 118 a major release because it finally brings the built-in translation feature for websites. Previously planned for Firefox 117, the new translation feature will let you automatically translate websites from one of the supported languages to another.
The translation feature can be accessed from a new “Translate page” menu entry in the application menu (the hamburger menu on the far right side of the window). When clicked, a pop-up dialog will open in place to let you choose the languages you want to translate from and to.
I wonder why Firefox can implement complicated systems such as translation but can’t fix the basic UX of handling profiles.
Because it’s just using a pre existing translation package. It’s not a big and complicated system, the big and complicated part was done by someone else
And profiles have been solved by Chrome a decade ago
okay. so are you just mad about that because that seems like it fits a different thread to go be mad in.

People who work? I need at least 3 profiles for different work logins.
Try container tabs, it’s built in, and they’re perfect for multiple logins like that.

Nope. I need browser profiles to quickly switch between different websites logged with different users.
Chrome can do that trivially. Firefox cannot.
It’s not exactly the best UX I have seen in my life, but you can enter
firefox -Pin a terminal or you can open theabout:profilespage to start a window with another profile.deleted by creator
Firefox does that trivially with container tabs, which I would argue are a far better solution anyhow.
