Fix copying bookmarks between profiles, and dragging tabs from the window panel between profiles and windows.

Cant copy bookmark folders between profiles, or drag tabs from the window panel between profiles and windows. This is a feature in Chrome I believe.
EDITED 2021-10-06: Please see my replies to properly understand the issue, especially my third reply.

@guigirl This would be an ease of use feature, potentially togglable. Not having this entails a degree of personal discomfort, though I don't get what you mean by physical danger. Again, this is a feature common to other browsers, If this should not be so for security reasons, then it should be made possible to toggle it as with other features for security reasons.

@guigirl Interesting story, but if the other profile is logged out—or even just closed, since the violent individual in your story is not supposed to know about the existence of profiles, I fail to see how my proposed change is relevant to your hypothetical. If both are logged in then the information is freely viewable anyway. All this feature does is allow one to copy-paste more easily—that is it. The alternative being copying the bookmark's address, and adding a new bookmark to the other profile one by one.
I'm very close to someone in an abusive relationship where such things do happen. Any person that wishes to be secretive about their information, should simply log out, or better yet, use Tor, or at least incognito mode.
I assume you mean you copy-paste the bookmarks file, or export then import it. This works if you want to move everything, but not a few items.
In my instance, I have a profile for work, and a profile for personal use, I like to keep the two compartmentalised, but often I would like to move bookmarks between them, and I'm stuck doing that one-by-one. Additionally, I manage the accounts of the less computer-literate members of my family.
I still fail to see any reason why this shouldn't be implemented, especially since it exists in most other popular browsers with profiles.

It seems drag-droping single bookmarks or selections of bookmarks between profiles adds the same number of bookmarks to the profile, though they are not the correct links, they are links already bookmarked on the receiving profile.
Additionally, it seems if one shift-clicks to select multiple bookmarks, then ctrl-clicks a non-selected bookmark, then proceeds to ctrl-shift click another unselected bookmark to attempt to make a second selection, then the original selection is deselected. This should also be fixed since it is common functionality, perhaps even more so than the original issue.
