The quotes are necessary to launch a profile with spaces. They syntax is proper, it’s just WordPress mangling the double quotes into fancy quotes that is creating a problem.

For example: firefox -no-remote -P default This runs a new instance of Firefox with the default profile. You can also run the following to launch a new instance and have Firefox as for the profile: firefox -no-remote -P Changing your shortcuts or launchers to use these commands rather than just "firefox" allows for easy launching of different profiles with a click of the mouse.

The first instance will load the profile the associated launcher indicated, but once that is running, the other launcher, despite being for a different profile, will just open a new window using the already open profile.
