How to add Firefox profiles to quick list for Firefox Launcher?

http://askubuntu.com – I have three separate Firefox profiles, and while I have no problem running them at the same time (via ProfileSwitcher add-on), the default behavior of the Launcher icon is to launch the profile that was used last. Most of this time, this is fine, but sometimes I'd like to select which one I'd like to run. I am thinking that a quicklist menu on the Firefox launcher is a better way to do this than having multiple launchers. However, I'm not sure how to do this. (HowTos)

I think I agreed to install a Launchpad add-on in Firefox the first time I visited the site (launchpad.net), and ever since then, whenever I have an open tab in Firefox with any page on launchpad.net loaded, an icon appears in my Launcher desktop widget. If I right-click on the icon and select quit, it also closes the tab in Firefox.

For some reason this morning Unity decided that instead of running Firefox 16, I'm actually running Minefield 3.5.

Hello, I have a few questions about Firefox and default profile for AppArmor. First: should I create additional profiles for usr.lib.firefox.firefox.sh and usr.lib.firefox.firefox? It seems to be important, because Firefox calls /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.sh before it starts. Second: I can still save files in every folder in user home directories[1] without any message.

Whenever I run the start-tor-browser script to run Tor-Browser-Bundle, the Unity3D launcher stacks it with the Firefox shortcut I have on there as if it's another window of Firefox, unlike before when Unity3D launched it with a separate icon and place in the launcher.
