As would I: The profile isn't "linked" in any way, it is accessed
exactly as it would be were I running the OS from my hard drive.

To get there, I do the following

Boot LiveCD
ctrl-alt-f1
sudo su
passwd root
mkdir /hda3
cat >> /etc/fstab
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda3 /hda3 ext3 defaults 0 0
^D
mount -a
swapon -a
ln -s /hda3/pww /home/pww
vipw # to add user pww
vipw -s # to add user pww
passwd pww
passwd ubuntu
tzconfig
EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi visudo #to add user pww
ctrl-alt-f7

Then I either logout of the Ubuntu session or switch user, and login as
pww. The recipe above sets things up so that the LiveCD sees my home
directory exactly the same way as would be the case had I done a
complete install.

FireFox runs fine, respects my cookies, history, and all other settings,
even seems to load my extensions, but they are inactive without being
disabled. And it doesn't die at those or other sites.

It is an odd state. If there is debugging value in working within it,
let me know. Otherwise, I will report back once I have a running OS on
my hard drive (looking forward to Herd2)....
