## Description

Show Profile is a Chrome extension designed for users managing multiple Firefox profiles. It displays a profile hint directly on the browser window title or at customizable locations like the menu bar, status bar, or toolbar without altering the individual tab titles. This helps distinguish between profiles easily, especially when windows are minimized. Users can set custom prefix strings, use individual icons, and adjust how and where the profile hint appears. The extension also includes features like opening the profile folder conveniently. Despite API restrictions preventing automatic detection of profile folder names in the latest version, Show Profile offers versatile customization options to ensure clarity in multi-profile browsing environments.
