Make A Separate Firefox Profile For GA Troubleshooting

I saw a couple of good posts last on tools that can be used to troubleshoot Google Analytics. The first was 6 Tools You Can Use to Troubleshoot Google Analytics Yourself by Shawn Purtell @ ROI Revolution, and the second was The Analytics Pro's Tools of the Trade by Caleb Whitmore @ Analytics Pros. They mention some good tools, all of the ones I use, and I can't add anything to the two lists. I did notice however that they did not mention Firefox profiles, which is what I want to bring up in this post.

I think of Firefox profiles as a set of user customizations, you can read about profiles here, and managing profiles here. Most importantly to this post, Firefox profiles will allow you to make a set (collected in a profile) of extensions. So I propose making a Firefox profile to store the extensions you use to test/debug/troubleshoot GA, and only these extensions, because it will mean that you will not require them to be installed in your main profile, while remaining available (and are less likely to conflict with other FF extensions).
