You will need to specify the process.StartInfo.Arguments

You will need to use the process.StartInfo.Arguments, as shown here:

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Diagnostics; namespace Launcher { public static class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { Process firefox = new Process(); firefox.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"; firefox.StartInfo.Arguments = "-P MyProfile -no-remote"; firefox.Start(); } } }
