Firefox has profiles too, but #Chrome's profiles are not a PITA to use, feel lighter weight, and play well with window management.
#Firefox's multi-account extensions are only useful for logging into the same website using multiple accounts. That's it. And despite general feelings about the feature, it has next to no security or privacy benefits (not since “Total Cookie Protection”). Using it for privacy purposes is basically privacy theater that just adds overhead.
