Right now, if you start guest mode. send Fennec to the background, and then bring Fennec back again, there's some question of whether you'll wind up in your normal profile or the guest mode one. We need to make it easier for users to understand. A simple solution would probably be to just always stay in guest mode, until the user explicitly chooses to switch back to their old profile.
Asking for feedback on this interaction. How do you expect this to act ian?

I think we always want to recover into whatever state we were in before we were backgrounded. It's up to the user to switch profiles.

Guest Mode > Background > Guest Mode
Account 1 > Background > Account 1

I fixed this (for guest mode) in bug 896092. The other profiles should work right now (and shilpan is rewriting that in bug 886925).
Fixed in bug 896092.
