How can I create a shortcut of firefox to launch it with particular proxy settings?

For example, I can start firefox in private mode by appending `-private` to Shortcut's target field like "F:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private

Can I switch proxy in a similar fashion like we can do in chrome using "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google Chrome\chrome.exe" --proxy-server="127.0.0.1:8080"

Why I want to do this? I'm beginning to use Burp Suite, for which I need proxy 127.0.0.1:8080. Only sometimes I use Burp Suite, and hence in normal course I don't want to set up proxy (and use default). I tried FoxyProxy but with that, starting proxy is the one I used last. I want to start firefox with no proxy, and only switch to proxy in special cases (i.e. using special shortcut when I've to use Burp Suite).

Thanks.

It is possible to create a new profile that runs the proxy settings as well.
