Nightly Tester Tools (NTT) is an add-on for aiding testers of Nightly builds of Mozilla apps including Firefox.
Nightly Tester Tools: A Firefox Add-On for Testers
"Nightly Tester Tools" is a Firefox add-on providing useful features for testers of Mozilla's Nightly builds. It allows copying build ID, listing extensions, customizing the Title Bar, and supports several locales. However, due to limited WebExtensions API, it has certain limitations and a few features from the original XUL-based extension are still to be implemented.

User reviews
Since I use several Firefox profiles, it has been necessary for me to somehow identify the profile any given Firefox window belongs to. This extension allows you to customize the title bar. There are several variables available. Unfortunately, the Firefox profile name isn't one of them anymore, so you need to hard-code it in the extension's options tab. Apparently, the profile name *was* a variable several years ago, but a change to WebExtensions apparently made it unusable.
