Details

Steps to reproduce:

Some users are toggling browser.profiles.enabled after reading about it online and then getting surprised when it doesn't work correctly.

Since using an unfinished profile manager might even result in data loss (because of a bug or someone manually trying to fix something), could you make it display a warning the first time it is enabled?

Component: Untriaged → Startup and Profile System
OS: Unspecified → All
Product: Firefox → Toolkit
Hardware: Unspecified → Desktop

Users already have to bypass a warning to change the pref in about:config, no particular reason to waste time implementing an additional warning on top of that.
