  • We share a single PC account and do exactly this to easily separate our profiles; here’s what I have for my launcher for example:

    [Desktop Entry]
    Version=1.0
    Name=David-Firefox
    Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
    GenericName=Web Browser
    Keywords=Internet;WWW;Browser;Web;Explorer
    Exec=firefox %u -P David --class Davidfox
    Terminal=false
    X-MultipleArgs=false
    Type=Application
    Icon=/home/david/Launchers/Firefox/Firefox-David.png
    Categories=GNOME;GTK;Network;WebBrowser;
    MimeType=
    StartupNotify=true
    Actions=NewWindow;NewPrivateWindow;ProfileManager;
    
    [Desktop Action NewWindow]
    Name=Open a New Window
    Exec=firefox -P David --class Davidfox -new-window
    
    [Desktop Action NewPrivateWindow]
    Name=Open a New Private Window
    Exec=firefox -P David --class Davidfox -private-window
    
    [Desktop Action ProfileManager]
    Name=Open the Profile Manager
    Exec=firefox -ProfileManager --class Davidfox
    

    Here I’m using a custom icon to help tell our profiles apart on our dock and use a custom window class so each profile’s windows will group with each other as well.
