I think you may be mixing up profiles and containers.

Profiles do have a built-in UI at about:profiles or by launching Firefox with -P, neither of which requires an extension. Admittedly this UI is a bit basic, but a better version is being rolled out (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-management). Running multiple profiles side by side does indeed involve running multiple instances of the browser.

Containers are an internal API and need an extension like Multi-account Containers to provide a GUI (though this is an official extension by Mozilla), however they don't require running multiple copies of the browser.

The new profile manager has already been enabled for most users.

If you don't see it in the main menu yet, type `about:config` into the address bar and toggle `browser.profiles.enabled`.
