I should perhaps have mentioned how to launch the two profiles into
separate windows, so that they don't become new tabs in an existing
window. You need to create/change the Start Menu shortcut properties to
each work in the appropriate profile directory, and to launch:

C:\Programs\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe -no-remote -P USERNAME
C:\Programs\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe -no-remote -P Debug

C:\Programs\Mozilla\Thunderbird\thunderbird_mail.e xe -no-remote -P Mail
C:\Programs\Mozilla\Thunderbird\thunderbird_news.e xe -no-remote -P News
