Hi,

Using the new profile manager, is there a way to launch Firefox using a specific profile?

I like the new Profile manager feature! As I understand it, it is completely separate from the old way of managing profiles with "firefox -p" and about::profiles. One feature of the old system that I really liked was the ability to launch Firefox with a specific profile. I was using this to create separate shortcuts to launch my Personal profile or my Work one. Is this possible with the new profile management system? I know that there is an option to select a default profile - but this is not as useful as that means that the same profile would always be used.

Thanks!
