MacOS – Starting Firefox with a specified profile from the dock (Mac OS X)

firefoxfirefox-profilemacos

I have different Firefox profiles for each version I have installed on my system and I know I can specify the profile name I want to use like this:

/Applications/Minefield.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -P minefield

Is it possible to create a dock icon or alias with additional parameters (just like in this article with shortcuts on windows)? That way I could have as many profiles as I want and wouldn't see the profile manager everytime I start the browser.

It's a bit more work to do this on mac but this is what you want:

Managing Multiple Firefox Profiles in OS X (via Internet Archive WayBackMachine)

The custom Firefox icons are still available from Gnome-Look.org
