I'm a Nightly only user who periodically uses Release, and I'm not thrilled
with the idea of my profile going away. Nightly users are probably better
suited to dealing with this (using sync, etc) than the Beta population.
Aiui, some Beta users aren't conscious Beta users, just people chosen to be

I think it will be great benefit if someone could run Nightly for
first time, whilst Firefox is running and not get the dreaded "Profile
in Use" dialog. We should do whatever we can to minimize the
appearance of that dialog, while still allowing -p to be passed in the
