Firefox has my very favourite vertical tab system of any browser in the Tree Style Tab addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/

I'm not too sure how to simplify jumping between profiles though. I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it, but maybe the Profile Switcher addon would work for you? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profile-switcher/

I really wish vertical tabs could make it in as a core feature to Firefox. Currently I have to rely on manual user style sheet changes to hide the horizontal tab bar.

I second the recommendation for Tree Style Tabs, however Sideberry did work better for me (don't recall why, sorry).

One downside is that they don't hide the horizontal tab bar on the top. AFAIK you can manually hide it by editing the userstyle css file.

@iusearchbtw I wish I didn't have to use an extension but I'mma try one just to see.

And I like having profiles cause I have different accounts for work and personal. I don't wanna have to create a new user on my PC or use a different browser
