I couldn't find the source for the current window manager
widget, but I found the one that introduced the feature four-ish
years ago. Looks like it asks X (or, I guess, Wayland) for the
window application name, e.g. what gets used in xrdb as the
application identifier:

XTerm.vt100.bellIsUrgent: true

Likely the WM_CLASS atom.

I don't think you can convince Firefox to set that differently
per-profile. Sorry.
