I run multiple Firefox sessions with different profiles. (I start Firefox with: firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote)

I'd like to have the name of the profile in the title bar of the window, so when I switch between windows and try to find the correct session+profile from Gnome3-acitivities, I can see the profile name there.

Is this possible in Firefox 10 somehow through the configure parameters (about:config) or with some extension, or with some command line parameter?

Thanks! 

nightly-tester-tools-extension seems to make it possible to change the title of the Window:

about:config nightly.templates.title -> "${Profile} - ${DefaultTitle} (Build ${AppBuildID})"

off topic: The reason I had (have) incorrect UserAgent, it because Google Search will give "Instant Previews" with FF10. With older versions (UserAgent) Google Search gives the old fashioned "Cached" links with the search results where search terms are highlighted with different colours.

btw, for privacy reasons, Firefox should maybe change its default user-agent string to more general one, which would not give so exact information to the web trackers as the current one gives. http://www.ip-adress.com/what_is_my_ip/ Giving the current quite exact UserAgent-field, IP or proxy IP-address and some other agent-header-fields, it is pretty easy to identify and track the user although (s)he would delete cookies regularly and use NoScripts-extension for example. Maybe this generalisation of the useragent fields should be at least in the Private Browser mode. (maybe I should make a separate thread for this, because I understand the problems in the suggestion but also have some solutions for them.)
