I use --no-remote. The name doesn't look intuitive to me, but it works. If I use "firefox -P Another_profile_name --no-remote" you can start another instance (local if you are in a terminal, not ssh) that uses a different profile.
-no-remote implies -new-instance apparently. And incidentally FF syntax uses a single - although it does accept -- as well.
The help describes double dash options:
firefox --help Usage: /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox [ options ... ] [URL] where options include:
X11 options --display=DISPLAY X display to use --sync Make X calls synchronous --g-fatal-warnings Make all warnings fatal Firefox options -h or --help Print this message. -v or --version Print Firefox version. -P <profile> Start with <profile>. --profile <path> Start with profile at <path>. --migration Start with migration wizard. --ProfileManager Start with ProfileManager. --no-remote Do not accept or send remote commands; implies --new-instance. --new-instance Open new instance, not a new window in running instance. ... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
