Ugly? I'd say quite workable. Allows for separation of different
functions, e.g. profiles for Facebook, work, play, and as you point out
Tor and non-Tor. Put different profiles on different desktops/workspaces
and/or use different themes and you can reduce the likelihood of
visiting the wrong site in the wrong profile. Also allows for building a
fairly simple portable environment.
It's not as straight forward as just clicking an icon, but none of the
privacy-enhancing tools are.
