Portable Firefox Profile switcher

I would like to request a profile switcher for portable firefox.
PortableApps.com Menu already identifies exe files.
Could the luncher be modified to select different profiles(not create, just select)?
Point:
I use Firefox for many things and for this i use close to 80 extensions.
I would prefer to not load them all for everything i do.
I would like to have a profile for downloads, one for debugging websites, etc.

Ideally it would be to be hot switchable.So you could change witch profile to use without restarting firefox but this would depend on the firefox team not PortableApps.

you can not change profiles

you can not change profiles without restarting FF .

make a shortcut that launches FF, use the "-P" switch and
the name of your profile, something like this :
(path) firefox.exe" -P "default"
(path) firefox.exe" -P "Custom"

Good tip

Thanks, I just thought of a gtreat use for that.

i'll make two icons with different profile shortcuts and hide mine so the female mafia at home don't bugger up my bookmarks with their girly links.

Hairdryers? Straighteners? Who the hell added that to my favs?

hehe

Smile I use it for the same thing ..(and for a "clean" profile with no extensions)

edit : there's a typo in the syntax, it should be like this :
(path) firefox.exe -P "default"
(path) firefox.exe -P "Custom"
