In Windows it's the same. Though the parameter is
-P(uppercase) not-p. That's why the comment said "it’s hidden behind a startup parameter".I dont know about Mac, but in Linux you can just manually make a
.desktopfile to have as a shortcut to callfirefox -P, or better a shortcut to a specific profile withfirefox -P <profile>. Though what I often do is keep a bookmark toabout:profilesand open a new window from there.
