firefox-session: Multiple Firefox profiles, shared with copy on write

This is really just a simple hack, but read on if you are curious.

Firefox allows the use of multiple profiles with different processes. This is useful to separate concerns or work contexts. For example one might have a profile for web surfing, and another for doing work related task and yet another for private projects, etc.

However, setting up a new profile can be tedious, especially if one likes to use multiple extensions and customizations. A solution would be to set up a basic profile and copy it for each new profile. This is wasteful though. The approach presented here uses copy-on-write to share the major portion of the profiles and still allow for individual customizations on each new profile.
