Open multiple profiles of Chrome on MS Windows and each profile/browser instance is separate on the taskbar and not grouped - BUT if you quit one Chrome window you quit all chrome windows regardless of profile.

Open multiple profiles of Firefox on MS Windows and they all get grouped together but you can quit each profile independently of other firefox profiles already open.

These differences get annoying very quickly for me.

On mac Firefox loads separate instances that each get their own launched app icon in the Dock. For chrome all profiles are windows of one chrome instance, quit one you quit them all.

These inverse/different behaviors annoys me since I use Firefox and chrome. I also dont like the whole "about:profiles" just make it a compact menu somehow. And no i dont want to tweak css.
