You should put a space between the exe and the -P or better yet, use the full path in the Windows Run dialog (hold down the Windows key and tap the R key):

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P

If your Firefox is installed under the 32-bit programs path, that would be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P
