Depends on what Desktop you are using.

How to run two different Firefox profiles at once on Linux

[ActionParsnip]

You'll want a launcher that runs:

firefox -P profilenamehere

I used the manual method from the link below to add Firefox and Thunderbird icons to my Gnome desktop on 20.04.

If I were to add icons for other profiles of the same or beta versions I would add a -p switch to the Exec command as ActionParsnip suggests.

I chose to select the profile from the Profile Manager instead of adding it to the Exec command.

Right-click your desktop, select "Create program launcher", and fill in "firefox -P ProfileName", like you did before.

Also, if you want a simpler way to create new profiles, make an icon that only runs "firefox -P". That will bring up the dialog för creating/deleting profiles directly.
