Any valid about: urls for the Firefox version is listed in about:about and about:profiles is a more recent thing since Fx 46.0 I believe.

The key thing is to make sure Firefox is completely closed/exited first before trying to start Firefox with the ProfileManager otherwise a new Firefox window will open instead.
