This is a wonderful add-on that I have been using for years.
PROBLEM: I just updated to TB 68.4.1 and this add-on is no longer compatible.
Can you kindly make it compatible with this version of TB.
Thanks so much for your help and support....

The replacement for Thunderbird 68 is moved to https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/profile-switcher/

Contrary to Duncan Moore (see below) on my system (win7pro) it works flawless even with TB v60+
One of the best Addons when using multiple profiles.
Mtks to Paolo!

I've had to revert to 1.7.6.1, since the new version 1.7.7 doesn't work with Thunderbird 52.8.0 - it no longer switches properly between two profiles. I emailed a bug report to the author 3 weeks ago, but so far there's been no reply. So it's not clear whether this add-on is now essentially dead, or whether the author is intending it to work with the imminent Thunderbird 60 release.
Edit 2018-08-09: 1.7.7 still has the same problem with Thunderbird 60.0. Worse still, 1.7.6.1 doesn't work at all, even with strictCompatibility switched off. So this extension is now useless for me.
Edit 2019-10-07. Fortunately, the replacement version above by Dillinger works properly with TB 68.

I am a single profile user, but I have the backup profile.
It is easily accessible to backup profile at emergency. ^^
Thank you, Paolo "Kaosmos".

But if you find a solution to use it in the Firefox 57, it should be great!
Firefox became harder to defend ....

Really useful add-on, really disappointed that Mozilla broke it with Firefox 57 and couldn't be bothered to build it in to their own version. Would love an updated one or replacement

I was enjoying it so much until yesterday, Firefox unfortunately updated to version 57 Quantum. Profile Switcher will not work with this new version, PLEASE come up with a fix so I will be happy again.

Profilswitcher permet d'avoir plusieurs profils disponibles, de pouvoir basculer rapidement d'un profil à l'autre. J'utilise actuellement 15 profils différents que je lance en fonction de mes activités du moment, en règle générale j'ai 3 voire 4 profils ouverts en même temps : une pour suivre la vie courante (comptes, la bourse, énergie, assurances, ...) un autre pour l'informatique, un pour le sport, un pour la cuisine. Dans chaque profil j'ai épinglé des onglet de je me sers couramment.
Je ne vois pas comment me passer de cette facilité.
Si Profileswitcher n'est pas disponible (ou un équivalent) sur Firefox Quantum je ne passerai pas à cette version et je chercherai un autre navigateur. Il est dommage que lorsqu'un outil marche bien de le casser.
