For the record, Firefox does also have profiles like Chrome has them: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-... Alternatively type "about:profiles" into the URL-bar, which you can also bookmark.

Unlike chrome, you can't have multiple Firefox profiles running simultaneously unless you're using two separate installs. Even then, one has to be nightly/developer/etc, or it refused to start.

  You can. As the other commenter wrote `firefox -no-remote -P` works. You can also add the name of a profile after the "-P" to launch directly into that profile. If you're not on Windows, you can also instead use `firefox -new-instance -P`, which is better, because -no-remote cuts off communication from other applications to that Firefox instance, meaning that you can't open links from those other applications inside a Firefox instance that's been started with -no-remote. The aforementioned "about:profiles" also has a button "Launch profile in new browser", which is much easier than the above methods, but those are useful, if you for example want desktop shortcut for your individual profiles.
