<chuckle>  That was the short form, presuming some knowledge on the
part of the user.  The long form is a lot more detailed.

I play with profiles all the time.  One bit about Profile Manager that
gets overlooked is that you can specify *where* the profile is
created.  I'm not thrilled with Mozilla's default location for
profiles under Windows, so I create mine under
\Mozilla\Profiles\Firefox\<profile name>.  It makes fiddling easier.
I have a development profile with Firebug and other tools installed.
The standard profile doesn't need them.

The current fun is putting Firefox, the profile I'm using, and the
cache on a 128MB ramdisk, which speeds things up a treat on the
netbook I'm posting from at the moment.  The profile directory and
firefox itself are stored in zip files in the profile directory.  A
startup script unzips them to the ramdisk for use.  A shutdown script
zips them back to the HD, catching any changes..

The desktop runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  The netbook runs WinXP Home. I run
a current Aurora build on both sides to compare performance.  The
netbook is relatively limited - 1.6ghx Atom CPU/1.5GB RAM - and part
of the exercise is an Aurora config that runs decently on the limited
hardware.  Among other things, Aurora seems to be a lot more memory
efficient on Linux.

(I can't imagine 60 open tabs on the netbook: I'd grow old and grey
waiting for them all to load, and RAM requirements would balloon.  It
might work on the desktop, but nothing I normally do requires that
many tabs to be open at once.)
