So does this let me actually use the "multiple profiles" Firefox feature? I was always so confused by Firefox having "profiles" but apparently no interface for using or switching among them.

I use multiple profiles for NSFW stuff. I just go to about:profiles, and click on Launch profile in new browser. I can use incognito mode, but this way I don't have to login, and keeps browsing history.

Use `firefox -ProfileManager --no-remote` to get the profile selection dialog on startup.

Launch firefox with the -p flag and you'll have a profile interface.

If you're on a Mac, and you want something slightly easier than having to drop down to a command shell to add the necessary flags, you can have Automator bundle a script as an app that you can then put in your dock. Here's the script I use: https://gist.github.com/ilikepi/9d2e17e0d3b3efd6fc0584f46f099b88 https://gist.github.com/ilikepi/9d2e17e0d3b3efd6fc0584f46f09... Note that, when run for the first time, it will request permission to talk to a couple system services. You can remove that stuff pretty easily though. You can also launch a shell script from Automator, which would have been easier but then I would not have had a chance to play with Applescript...
