I'd recommend using Firefox Sync to store your preferences and keep it synched across all your foxes.

I understand this is an option, but it's super frustrating that the FF profiles mechanism wasn't built the right way from the ground up.

There are significant advantages to having all your config in dotfiles beyond just keeping everything in one place: easy branching, getting rollback for free, human-readable diffs, etc.
