Managing Multiple Profiles

So the command is ‘firefox -p‘ and you will be presented with the following screen. Here you have the option to create a new profile, rename or delete a profile.

Importantly you have the option to have FireFox load the profile selector when you run FireFox. If you create a new Profile you’ll be presented with a screen where you click next until you get to the point where you can enter a profile name as shown in this screen.
