Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:3 boklm]:
 > It seems the `MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES` environment variable can be set to
 disable this feature. On Linux we could set it in the start script,
 however I'm not sure we can easily set environment variables on Windows
 and macOS, so maybe patching to disable it will be needed.

 Thanks. We may also be able to disable this by adding the following to our
 .mozconfig files (but I have not tried yet):
  ac_add_options "MOZ_DEDICATED_PROFILES="
