Details

This could happen a several levels.  Fully furnished rat-hole abstracts GeckoProfile into a general configuration center.  Space saving rat-hole just passes the "-P" option through to the Gecko runtime.

Looks like we need to add a profile option to GeckoView.init, and that might mean adding a profile option to the XML declaration.  Let's hope it doesn't come to that!
Mass change of bugs in the "Embedding: GRE Core" component in preparation for archiving it. I believe that these are no longer relevant; but if they are, they should be reopened and moved into a component relevant to the code in question.

Summary: [geckoview] Let embedders specify the GeckoView profile directory → [geckoview] Let embedders specify the GeckoView profile name
Product: Firefox for Android → GeckoView

Right now we have a backdoor to specify the profile folder passing -profile to the GeckoRuntime (mostly for tests). If we ever want to have first-class support for profiles in GeckoView we can open a new bug.
