I have nine Firefox profiles here.  Any problems I have had have turned
out to be a bad add on.  Sometimes I turn off auto update and new
Firefox doesn't like old add on.  It is rare that I have Firefox crash. 
It may get slow at times but it keeps chugging along.  Generally I have
four or five profiles running and sometimes even more.  I use different
profiles for different tasks with different add ons.  I've noticed that
the more add ons one has, the slower it tends to get.  I sort of spread
them out a bit.
