Setup a single instance of Win10 FF (all latest) with three different profiles - HOME, WORK, MEDIA (the junk). They all have their own colour schemes, set of bookmarks etc.

Within "about:profiles" I have assigned HOME to be the default Problem: The default FF that keeps coming up is WORK, the least used of the profiles.

The work around I found is in the Win startup menu and other shortcuts is to add -P HOME to the default. "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P HOME

On the desktop the different profiles are started with editing the three FF shortcuts and adding -P HOME or -P WORK or -P MEDIA to the start command.

Instead of editing the Firefox shortcut, create different shortcuts for each profile.

Note: Whatever profile was last used is recorded and will be used the next time the browser starts. Unless you use the -p switch.
