Just add -P to Firefox launch flags once and then selected "prompt me everytime". This also has been true for rlike 20 years.

Or just -P "profilename" to launch that profile directly from a shortcut.

You can have as many running simultaneously as you'd want.

it's slightly different; before to have two profiles open at the same time you had to add no-remote and it was still quirky; now its much more streamlines and background links outside of firefox will open in whichever profile has focus.
