I receive the following error after entering the "firefox --remote" command into my linux terminal:

Running 2 separate profiles (for 2 Firefox versions) is accomplished by using the -no-remote <profile_name> option, not -remote. Please see the MDN links and the bug for explanation.

The bug does contain rumours about the -remote option still working on Linux (or rather, X-windows Unix platforms) but I wouldn’t count on it, and I don’t think this is what you need, is it? Do you want to run 1 Firefox version with 2 separate profiles simultaneously, or 2 separate Firefox versions?

Try -no-remote if your intention is to open a new Firefox instance.

If not, the -remote <remote_command> option appears to have been removed as of Firefox 39.

I tried this and it worked fine.

So does this mean the -remote option is now removed? If so then how could I continue to run two separate profiles simultaneously. I used to run firefox -P -remote but without the -remote option I'd have to exit out of a profile to load another.
