create profile shortcuts on desktop


Hello, I am trying to go from ungoogle-chromium to firefox (win10 incompatibility problems and other minor details), for now the only thing missing is being able to access different profiles with a direct access as in chrome, we are several people who use the same pc and browser, so having the profiles in a shortcut saves a lot of time and confusion (some do not know much about computing in general).

adding to the firefox path the "-p" to open the profile manager would only confuse the other users, I tried to create the profile shortcuts to make life easier for other users but I couldn't find a way.

I use several versions of the Firefox program. Because different versions can not use the same profile, I have the shortcuts set to call the program and its profile.

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox_Current\firefox.exe" -p default-release

You would have to set up a different shortcut for each profile.

Note: Different computer user accounts use their own separate user profiles.
