Creating a profile is really easy, just point Firefox to the folder you
want, if it's empty a new profile is made in that folder, if not it will
use the existing profile, and if the folder doesn't exist it won't start
at all.

I've attached a profile with a some minor changes and the Simple
Green[1] theme, and extensions can also be included.
