Where to find Firefox Profile Configuration

Today I wanted to configure FireFox for another User on my PC. Starting FireFox with a distinct profile allows you to have separate Add-ons, bookmarks etc.
It turned out that this is a little bit hidden. You have to start FireFox with a command line parameter "firefox.exe -P". The rest is quite easy. Create a new Profile and enable FireFox to ask you what profile you want to use at start up. When you switch to your profile you get a default FireFox with no extensions or bookmarks. Customize to your liking and switch back to you other profiles by restarting FireFox...
