I'm trying to work out how to save two different profiles on the task bar (a profile for my work accounts and one for my personal accounts). I'm nearly there and even had it sort of working for a while but the solution wasn't reliable and something somewhere breaks it after a while. I was wondering if there's a more reliable version than the way I did it.
I basically followed the instructions for adding two firefox icons to the taskbar, replacing Firefox with Thunderbird with a few adjustments.
(https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/s2k5tt/have_multiple_firefox_profile_and_taskbar_icons/)
- Create two profiles.
- Create a Shortcut (on the desktop) for Thunderbird.
- Drag Shortcut to taskbar
- Open Thunderbird from the new icon.
- Enter Config Editor (Tools>Settings>Config Editor)
- Add taskbar.grouping.useprofile=true and browser.startup.blankwindow=false to the advanced config settings
- Close Thunderbird and open it up again. You should now get two Thunderbird icons on taskbar. Make sure both are pinned.
- Right-click one of the Thunderbird icon,right click the instance within and then properties. Replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"" with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P WorkProfile" in the Target edit box.
- Do the same with the other pinned icon but with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P PersonalProfile" in the Target edit box.
One problem I have is naming the the two icons after I've created them.
Sometimes for no apparent reason they stop working and I have to re-apply the target setting changes.
Any other, more reliable ways of achieving this?
