Using Firefox, Aurora and Nightly on one machine:

Path for Firefox is: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p Ian Path for Aurora is: "C:\Program Files\Aurora\firefox.exe" -p Camelot Path for Nightly is: "C:\Program Files\Nightly\firefox.exe" -p BetaTest

Problem is, if Firefox is running and I click the Aurora icon, another window of Firefox opens and not Aurora; similarly if I click the icon for Nightly, another window of Firefox opens and not Nightly. The paths are distinctly separate. The profile manager has the correct usernames.

How do I have three concurrent sessions open on one machine each with their set username? Am I missing something?

You need to use the -no-remote command line option to open a second instance of Firefox using a different profile and target application. For example, if "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p Ian is open, use this command line to start your BetaTest profile: 

"C:\Program Files\Nightly\firefox.exe" -p BetaTest -no-remote
