It is possible to create and use multiple firefox profiles. This could be to support many users on same system or also if you want different profiles for different reasons (eg one with security plugins for browsing web, one with no plugins for supporting trusted websites that cross-reference too many domains and use too much javascript which interferes with security plugins, etc.)
To create profiles start firefox using:
firefox -profilemanager
This will popup for firefox profile chooser. You can untick "Dont ask at startup" option to ensure that every time firefox is started it prompts for profile to use.
Start another browser in another profile
While already running a browser in profile 'Eg A', if you want to run another browser in parallel for another profile 'Eg B', then open url:
about:profiles
in browser tab. All the profiles would be listed with option of launching browser of the other profile.
