1. Create Multiple Profiles (copy-paste this block)
# 1. Check if the profile folders were created
ls -l ~/FirefoxProfiles/

# 2. If the folders are empty or missing, create them manually and initialize
mkdir -p ~/FirefoxProfiles/person1 ~/FirefoxProfiles/person2 ~/FirefoxProfiles/person3

# 3. Fix ownership and permissions (important because you are root)
chown -R root:root ~/FirefoxProfiles
chmod -R 700 ~/FirefoxProfiles

# 4. Remove any lock files
rm -f ~/FirefoxProfiles/*/.parentlock ~/FirefoxProfiles/*/lock 2>/dev/null

echo "=== Profiles ready ==="
ls ~/FirefoxProfiles/

2 > Run this to check profile 
firefox --profile ~/FirefoxProfiles/person1

Make easy launch aliases (ff1, ff2, ff3)
cat <<EOF >> ~/.bashrc
alias ff1='firefox --profile ~/FirefoxProfiles/person1'
alias ff2='firefox --profile ~/FirefoxProfiles/person2'
alias ff3='firefox --profile ~/FirefoxProfiles/person3'
EOF

source ~/.bashrc

3. Backup ALL Profiles (one command)

cd ~
tar -czf ~/firefox-all-profiles-backup-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).tar.gz FirefoxProfiles/
echo "✅ Backup created: ~/firefox-all-profiles-backup-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).tar.gz"
ls -lh ~/firefox-all-profiles-backup-*.tar.gz

4. Restore ALL Profiles on Another PC/Laptop
cd ~

# 1. Make sure the backup file exists
ls -lh ~/firefox-all-profiles-backup-*.tar.gz

# 2. Remove old profiles folder first (to avoid conflicts)
rm -rf ~/FirefoxProfiles

# 3. Extract the backup correctly
tar -xzf ~/firefox-all-profiles-backup-*.tar.gz -C ~/

# 4. Fix permissions and ownership
chown -R root:root ~/FirefoxProfiles
chmod -R 700 ~/FirefoxProfiles

# 5. Remove lock files
rm -f ~/FirefoxProfiles/*/.parentlock ~/FirefoxProfiles/*/lock 2>/dev/null

echo "=== Restore completed ==="
ls ~/FirefoxProfiles/
