I move my profile folder between several machines and operating systems and it is fine but if I could add comments to the profile.ini file it help keep track of usage/profile backups etc.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Many sources suggest that the semicolon (;) symbol may be used. You have to put a comment on its own line, so it can't follow other text as happens in many other cases.

I just tried a ; in my own profiles.ini file and it doesn't seem to have broken anything.

Note that other Thunderbird files have their own conventions. In the js files such as pref.js, you can use a # or the c-style /*…*/ format.
