It's pretty awesome and I wish more people knew about it. It's one of the things I bring up to privacy oriented and people who need a lot of different logins.

Is there a way to have multiple profiles open in separate windows but inly a single instance of Firefox, similar to Chrome?

I think you can do it from command line. Set up a few profiles (2 to start with/test) and run them from command line. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/62.0.32...
