The issue in that thread is an intentional blacklisting of certain executable names. You can find the full blacklist in the following configuration file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Razer\Razer Services\GMS3\blacklist.xml

 

I found that after removing a program’s executable name from that configuration file, profile switching begins to work normally with it.

In my case, I have been using a “Browser” profile with Firefox and Edge for several weeks now, and have not noticed any side effects whatsoever from un-blacklisting them.
