1896594 - Don't show the launch on login option for a non-default profile

It looks like we offer to start Firefox on login on Windows and always show the option in the preferences. However the actual implementation doesn't specify which profile launches so it will just be the default profile even if the user click the checkbox in a non-default profile. This might be confusing so I wonder if we should hide this checkbox for non-default profiles?

NI myself so I get to this once I have some time.

After discussion with the team there's a preference for making the feature work on multiple profiles and have it possibly launch multiple instances that correspond to each profile it's enabled for. Aside from the technical details do you think there's any issues with this approach and how it relates to multi-profile management?

As long as the command line executed on login includes the profile argument it should work ok for as many profiles as you like.
