The Firefox Profile Manager (Choose User Profile) window should open. Alternatively, you can use -ProfileManager instead of -P. Click the Firefox menu at the top of the screen and select Quit Firefox. If Firefox is open, close Firefox: Click the Firefox menu and select Exit.If Firefox is already included in your Linux distribution or if you have installed Firefox with the package manager of your Linux distribution: Note: You may need to adjust these instructions if Firefox is installed in a non-default location (for example, when multiple installations exist).

This is because it can get confusing if you are using different profiles and you start firefox as normal without using a special shortcut and it just loads the last profile used. Something else I recommend is going to your firefox folder ( mine is /home/mike/.mozilla/firefox) and checking that the StartWithLastProfile setting in profiles.ini is false: If you wanted to do it manually, the desktop shortcut would look something like this you could create it in a text-editor and name it sktop: Įxec=firefox -Profile /home/mike/.mozilla/firefox/55divdmr.Mike2 -no-remote This will launch firefox with that profile and make sure that it doesn't connect to any other running instance of firefox with the essential -no-remote switch. The command you need for each launcher is, for example: firefox -Profile /home/mike/.mozilla/firefox/55divdmr.Mike2 -no-remote You can use your menu launcher creator (or right click the desktop and select new launcher, depending on what desktop you are on) to fashion two new firefox launchers.
