Comment(by mikeperry):

 I think we should take a step back and realize that what you're talking
 about is a pretty hard-core advanced use case, mostly intended for people
 who are already compiling and heavily tweaking stuff.

 Why can't you just run the TBB firefox with -P to get a fresh profile?
 What if we just added an command line option on TBB to point it to an
 alternate Firefox Profile directory somewhere on disk?

 Also, if we instead devote the limited resources of Erinn to more awesomer
 things like Thandy updates, shouldn't your TBB start auto-updating itself
 in-place and preserving its configs as it does so (if you so choose?) This
 also seems a better plan.
