Otherwise a new browser window will just open instead.

Though if entered correctly the -no-remote switch along with -P should open the ProfileManager so you can run a second instance with another Profile. Basically you cannot run more than one instance on same Profile.

hello, all other firefox windows and processes have to be closed before firefox.exe -p will bring up the profile manager.
