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.
- RobMurray 9y agoI use multiple firefox profiles at the same time and it works fine. try firefox -no-remote -p

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.
