Once you have set up your multiple profiles, either for an [installed](https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/wiki/2.1-Multiple-Profiles) or [portable](https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/wiki/2.2-Multiple-Profiles-%5BFirefox-Portable%5D) Firefox, you can use them one at at time (the default), or run them concurrently.
Use the above links to learn about using the switches
* `-no-remote` (installed)
* `AllowMultipleInstances=true` (portable)
These switches allow multiple profiles, multiple firefoxes, and even different versions, to all run simultaneously.
### :small_orange_diamond: Example
Here is a sample `<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini` and it's matching Profile Manager
```ini
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=medium
IsRelative=0
Path=D:\UserData\Firefox\Profiles\medium
[Profile1]
Name=relaxed
IsRelative=0
Path=D:\UserData\Firefox\Profiles\relaxed
[Profile2]
Name=hardened
IsRelative=0
Path=D:\UserData\Firefox\Profiles\hardened
```

Here are four shortcuts
```js
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p "medium"
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p "hardened"
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p "relaxed"
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p
```
And here are all three profiles running concurrently, with both normal and private browsing mode windows
