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. But be careful if
you use both ways; it's gonna fuck up your different profiles. BTDT.

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.
