Is there a way to have different taskbar icons for two different Firefox profiles? I have two shortcuts which point to bat scripts which launch Firefox profiles in following manner:
start "" "D:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe" -no-remote -P "default"
It's easy to change icons for shortcuts which sit on desktop, but when I launch Firefox instances they both have the same standard icon.

It seems there's no good, consistently working solution at this moment (2011-08-20).
Best Answer
If somebody is OK with running beta version of FF (or Aurora or Nightly) then installing and using stable with one profile and beta with the other one seems to solve the problem.
How to do it:
-no-remote -p yourprofilename
properties
and the icon menu itemIt seems to works flawlessly. If somebody has a way to run two stable versions in this manner I'll gladly accept such an answer.
