Firebase getCurrentUser method explanation required

Can any one tell me that what does get Current User do?

private ProgressDialog progressDialog;
private FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth;
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
    firebaseAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
    if (firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser() != null){
        //start profile activity
        finish();
        startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),Profile.class));
    }

I am confused on which user get Current User pick?

firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser() is used get a FirebaseUser object, which contains information about the signed-in user. If it returns null the user has not signed in else it will be redirected to Profile.class...(In your above code)

FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser() returns the currently logged in user in firebase. The user which whith whom the credentials you made the login from your android emulator. If a user isn't signed in, getCurrentUser returns null.
