Hey Andrea, I have a cross platform (almost release) beta ready. I uploaded it 
to AMO as beta:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profilist/

Please scroll down to the bottom of AMO listing and install Development Channel

After install please navigate to about:profilist?html to use/see it in action.

To access the options page, please go to about:profilist - from here you can 
create desktop shortcuts.

One massive issue is something I'll have to submit a patch to Firefox for. It's 
on Mac: Anything that is launched from the Profilist menu or a desktop shortcut 
created by Profilist, has some internal paths that are wrong. Each launcher is 
an app bundle which consists of symlinks to the original Firefox app bundle. 
The issue is Firefox isn't reading through those symlinks. But it works pretty 
decently, the update mechanism is broken, but I hope to try to get a patch in 
on Firefox for this.

Here's a screenshot of it in action: http://i.imgur.com/jAimWMb.png
