Does any Firefox spinoff for Android support separate profiles or multi-account containers? (slrpnk.net)

I've read about creating separate users at the OS level, but I'm hoping for something a tad lighter. Are separate Firefox profiles and/or multi-account containers a thing in any of the various Firefox spinoffs for Android?

Testing in Fennec browser, in the little kebab menu, I see an option to sign in, but that's not what I want. I don't see anything related to profiles. When I browse to the page for the multi-account containers extension, it says not compatible w/ Android.

Does one of the other Firefox spinoffs for Android have either of these features (profiles or multi-account containers)?

I think they probably all do. But by default they go right to a default profile without prompting you to choose. There is usually a way to create a new profile if your look in the menus.

Can you please share a specific example? I poked around in the settings for Fennec browser and could not find anything about switching profiles.

Sorry, my bad. Desktop Firefox and spinoffs has this but not Android.
