The new button on the toolbar belongs to the 'new' integrated profile manager whereas there is no regular button for the 'old' one "firefox -p". Mozilla is driving both managers now simultaneously.

In case you don't need or want the new profile manager yet you can disable it via about:config with "browser.profiles.enabled" set to false.
