firefox -ProfileManager

To see all command-line options, you can do:

firefox -h |more

Notes:
1. If firefox is not in your PATH you will have to either prepend the
path or (on Windows) cd to its directory.
2. After -h, redirection is essential; otherwise the output goes to the
bit bucket.
3. -h|more works also with Thunderbird, Mozilla and Netscape 6+
4. -ProfileManager works only if Firefox is not running, not even "busy
dying" (check the output of Unix ps or of Windows taskmgr.exe if you
aren't sure).


HTH,
