At the moment, running different profiles simultaneously is not possible

Bullshit. I've been multiboxing Firefox for years.

You need to run firefox.exe -p to open profile manager and then create all the profiles you want. Then create shortcuts to each new profile. firefox.exe -p ProfileName

This allows you to run a personal profile, work profile and porn profile simultaneously without crossing streams.

Under Linux you can also start a throwaway profile by running firefox --Profile $(mktemp -d)
