I looked in about:buildconfig for my copy of Firefox (the latest, 
2.0.0.13) but I don't see anything that looks like a profile in the 
Firefox Compiler flags:
-Wall -W -Wno-unused -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wno-long-long 
-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -fpascal-strings 
-no-cpp-precomp -fno-common 
-I/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/Developer/Headers/FlatCarbon;

or Configure arguments:
--target=i386-apple-darwin8.7.0 
--with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk 
--enable-application=browser --enable-update-channel=release 
--enable-official-branding '--enable-optimize=-O2 -g' --disable-debug 
--disable-tests --enable-update-packaging --enable-static 
--disable-shared --enable-svg --enable-canvas?

  Am I looking in the right places?
