Profiles are not to be exposed in the main UI; they are only for advanced QA and development.

How is there a difference in UI between startup to select a profile,
and startup in safemode.   If I were to submit an enhancement request for when starting up with a profile to select a profile but then be able switch to the safe mode dialog instead of actually starting Firefox, would that be a violation of UI should I file it that way.
