Firefox allows for the ability to use multiple profiles by starting the browser from the command line as such: firefox --ProfileManager Or more directly: firefox --CreateProfile

However, despite being included in tor --help , these commands do not work when I replace firefox with tor. The browser starts normally without any other options.

Is there a workaround to navigate this important Firefox functionality to the Tor Browser? I'm running Ubuntu. Thanks!

This won't work, given that Tor Browser ships with a specific default profile which it uses, and needs to use to operate properly, creating and utilising different profiles will cause issues.

Instead, have multiple installations of Tor Browser (each extracted to a distinct folder) which will provide superior isolation between identities and profiles for each.
