Ah! No, they are too different things.

I have not read anywhere that the use of multiple user profiles causes FF to 
crash.  Perhaps some addons may do.

The use of psd on the other hand is a useful package, minimising the writing 
cycles of the browser's cache to disk.  If your PC is running on SDD or hybrid 
disks and has enough RAM, then a profile-sync-daemon (when it is not buggy) 
should be a good thing.
