Hi all,

This week I landed a set of patches to introduce 'about:profiles'.
This page shows the list of existing profiles and gives the possibility to
create new ones, delete them, rename them, change the default one.

I wanted to work on this feature because I think having multiple profiles
and manage them with a simple UI is extremely useful and it's important for
web developers who want to test a websites with different logins, people
who care about privacy and want to have different profiles for different
use-case, and so on.

This page/feature is not meant to be a replacement of containers:
containers have a completely different workflow, it's a major feature of
firefox and I want to see it enabled by default on nightly :)

I also landed a replacement of the existing ProfileManager, built on top of
about:profiles: instead having a XUL UI, we show a XUL browser element
rendering |about:profiles?manage|. This new profile manager offers the same
features of the previous one.

There are still a couple of open issues, and maybe more will come. But I'm
working on them and I'm having good feedback.
