From somewhere above, Sporif was quoted as having said:
"It's very possible that at some future time the Firefox team will remove some or all of the functionality that makes this possible, so enjoy it while you can."

Alas; that time has arrived :-( The button stopped working on Nightly a couple of versions ago and is now gone on Beta as well. Quoting Sporif again: "Firefox 72 removed support for XBL, so the userchromejs method for injecting scripts found here or here no longer works."

Has anyone tried bookmarking about:profiles and using those buttons?
Doesn't matter what you say, it's wrong for a toaster to walk around the house and talk to you

You can do similar hacks with AutoConfig.

Customizing Firefox using AutoConfig
http://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizi ... autoconfig

Example
http://github.com/alice0775/userChrome. ... /master/72

AutoConfig is sandboxed by default on the release build. (i.e. can't use the Components object)

You can disable the sandbox by setting the general.config.sandbox_enabled pref to false in the autoconfig.js file.
Our long term plan is to remove the ability to turn off the sandboxing.

Sure, they work - as does about:restart, at least for now.
