I tried it during covid when wfh started. I found it really annoying to switch between personal and work profiles. I prefer the chrome way of asking which profile each time I click the icon or having two separate icons.
I have two separate shortcuts, I just set it so that one shortcut opens one profile and the other the other profile.
Just add -P to Firefox launch flags once and then selected "prompt me everytime". This also has been true for rlike 20 years.
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.
Or just -P "profilename" to launch that profile directly from a shortcut.
You can have as many running simultaneously as you'd want.
