Why create a new Firefox profile
A profile in Firefox is a collection of bookmarks, browser settings, extensions, passwords, and history; in short, all of your personal settings. When you want to run automation reliably on a Firefox browser:
It is advisable to make a separate profile. Automation profile should be light to load and have special proxy and other settings to run good test.
You should be consistent with the profile you use on all development and test execution machines. If you used different profiles everywhere, the SSL certificates you accepted or the plug-ins you installed would be different and that would make the tests behave differently on the machines.
