If you add -no-remote to the command, you can launch multiple profiles simultaneously. You don’t need that parameter on your main profile.

Example:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P [profile’s name] -no-remote

You can even make a shortcut to Firefox and put the command in. I have several icons launch profiles when I need them.
