Hello. I have two profiles on my Firefox account. Is it possible to create two desktop shortcuts for both profiles without having to switch between them?

I'm Win 10 / Adjust Path for Win X as needed .... Make Shtcuts with following Paths .....

Open TEST Profile – w/ FF default Profile Closed "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P TEST (or whatever Profile name)

Open TEST Profile – w/ FF default Profile Open "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P TEST -no-remote

In any Shtcut script don't forget a Split Profile Name requires Quotes .... Test, Test2 Don't --- BUT "Test 2" Does. "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P "TEST 2"

I'm not sure IF Profile Mgr varies with Default Profile Closed or Open, BUT a Profile Mgr shtcut is (default Profile presumed Closed) .... "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P Make it .... "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P -no-remote ..... IF Open requires it.
