When Firefox is open, external links open in a new tab fine. However when FF is not open, the links will spawn the browser with the default user profile. Then I have no customized bookmark bar with my links on it.

It is best to select the default profile that you want to use when you click a link in an external program as the current selected profile in the Profile Manager (marked as Default=1 in profiles.ini) and use desktop a shortcut that specifies a profile folder to open other Firefox version with a specific profile.

Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and to run different Firefox instances simultaneously.
