How to create a new Firefox Profile

Why would you want a new profile?  The main reason is the same regardless of if you are using the browser at work for testing or if you are using the browser at home for recreation: different add-ons, configurations, and settings.

In my case, at the office, I have a profile set up with which I run automated tests in Selenium IDE.  The reason I can't use my normal browser is two-fold:

1. The add-ons which I need for Selenium IDE to run without failing for stupid reasons are dangerous to have installed for everyday manual use.
2. Everyone on my team needs to have the same setup so that we can all run the tests without having any compatibility issues.

So, how to set it up?  Fairly easy.  See these links for reference.

Selenium IDE is a great tool for automating within a tight budget, but it has one major weakness -- the logical flow of the script cannot be controlled.  Because of this, we were seriously considering moving all of our scripts to the Selenium Remote Control.

Thankfully though, I did some research and found some lifesaving addons and extensions.
