Okay, done:

  PROFILEDIR="$(mktemp -d)"
  firefox --no-remote  --profile "$PROFILEDIR" --screenshot $PWD/output.png https://xkcd.com

(If you're trying to point out that two firefoxes are capable of talking to each other via system IPC, then yes, fully isolating any two programs on the same machine requires at least containers but probably full VMs, which has nothing to do with Firefox itself, and you'd need to explain why in this situation we should care)
