### Firefox [Portable] Method 1
You can't use the Profile Manager or controls in `about:profiles` with Firefox Portable.
You can't use the Profile Manager or controls in `about:profiles` with Firefox Portable. There are two ways to achieve this.
Use the [FirefoxPortable2ndProfile](http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/FirefoxPortable2ndProfile_1.2.paf.exe?redirect_do_not_right_click) from PortableApps. Run the file as many times as you need to create as many profiles as you need. Always unpack to the same root directory as your original portable firefox.
```
- FirefoxPortable (full portable Firefox)
- FirefoxPortableHardened (portable profile)
- FireforPortableRelaxed (portable profile)
```
Note: If you want to rename a portable profile from the one you gave it when unpacking (or you moved it), under the Data/Settings directory you will need to amend the `LastProfileDirectory` in the `FirefoxPortableSettings.ini`. Here is the `Hardened` one
```ini
[FirefoxPortableSettings]
LastProfileDirectory=D:\Portable\FirefoxPortableHardened\Data\profile
SubmitCrashReport=0
```
To run concurrent profiles, you will need to add the following line to the FirefoxPortable.ini files.
```
AllowMultipleInstances=true
```
They are in different places: for the main portable Firefox, the location is the root folder and for the portable profiles, it is located in the root of the Data sub-directory e.g.
```
- FirefoxPortable/FirefoxPortable.ini
- FirefoxPortableHardened/Data/FirefoxPortable.ini
- FireforPortableRelaxed/Data/FirefoxPortable.ini
```
