Hi, Mody

This is already possible.   
See  http://kb.mozillazine.org/Opening_a_new_instance_of_your_Mozilla_application_with_another_profile

In brief

1.  Start your default profile with the command line

         firefox -P "profile_name"

    (Use the actual profile name inside the quote marks)

2.  Start all other profiles with the command line

         firefox -no-remote -P "other_profile_name"

    (Use the actual profile name inside the quote marks)


It is important that all profiles except one have the command-line parameter  -no-remote
The default profile (only) should not have the command-line parameter  -no-remote
