I don't know how common this workflow is for others, but I do find I often need to use release/beta to "fix" experimental preferences when things go wrong. For features that are behind a preference, in nightly, if I set the preference, which leads to a start up crash, the easiest way to reset it is to run the release on the same profile, reset the preferences to the default, then run nightly again.

Fairly specialized case, I agree.
FWIW this case is destructive to your profile data currently (in often invisible ways), see bug 1246615, which I believe is one of the driving forces behind this change.

On a sync note, I'm not sure if I understood the conversation correctly, but as long as I can run the same sync account on different machines, with different versions of Firefox, I'm good.

Does anyone think we shouldn't do this or have comments on my proposal for
implementing it?
