They've had this for a while in immigration at least. Second time I visited (about 2003) I was greeted with a picture of my first visit through immigration there. Shown on a flat panel with a camera on top. Might just've been a te

I've just installed it and haven't yet used it, but as far as I can tell from the docs, the counter is stored as part of the syncable profile for a site. The profile is also used to store other site-specific attributes, like if it

I don't think so, but some addons support per container settings. For example Cookie AutoDelete where each defined container can have its own whitelist: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cook

You should check out the new contextual containers feature in Firefox if you haven't. Both more convenient and more powerful than profiles. As someone commented elsewhere in this thread, you can get FF version 52 in the security repo o
