Firefox Profile Runner

Config Dialog

If you uncheck the options to register the normal/private window launch options profiles globally you can not launch the profiles like in the last screenshot.
If the following option is checked the option to launch a normal window with the default profile is not shown. This is useful, because the default profile can be launched with the "Applications" plugin.
The option to always show private windows is demonstrated in the first screenshot.

Using the Move Up/Down buttons you can change the order of the options.
The text field below is used to rename the profiles. This does not modify the Firefox configuration, just the displayed name for the runner.
