Time since I discovered this little trick, I use it always. I like that I can have two Firefox profiles run at the same time, but they are totally different. They have separate directories created for profiles and as that they can have totally different extensions installed than each other. So, I have created recently one more profile for web developing, which contains all the extensions I need for it like Firebug, Web developer toolbar, some validators, etc. Now I have the default profile which is used for surfing over Internet with own extensions, browsing history, bookmarks, and web development profile with it own extensions.

How to create Firefox profile?

I won’t make a full descriptions of steps how to do it, I rather redirect you to some places where I also got knowledge about this. Just shortly, after you created your new Firefox profile you can make a shortcut for it, only what you have to do is to add few parameters in the target field. In my case it looked like the following line.

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P WebDev -no-remote

As you can suppose from the line above, my new profile name was “WebDev” before which is a parameter “-P” which means profile, so we call profile named “WebDev” and “-no-remote” parameter is which enables to run multiple profiles!

For further read I suggest to visit following links which explains in more details how goes the profile creation part and all together.
