With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I just launch Firefox with this option:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager

Always launches with the profile selector. Then install a profile switcher extension. Done.

Unfortuntaley 1) it doesn't really come out of the box and 2) the extension must be installed on every single profile. Not the most obvious or user friendly.
