This baffled me to no end, but the -P flag did the trick.
eg Win11: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P as a shortcut.
Got used to always start with profile picker.
If you add -no-remote to the command, you can launch multiple profiles simultaneously. You don’t need that parameter on your main profile.
Example:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P [profile’s name] -no-remote
You can even make a shortcut to Firefox and put the command in. I have several icons launch profiles when I need them.
