Cannot get a local profile (from the Firefox profiler) in the side view #473

STR:

start the Firefox profiler
stop it
a profile should open in a new tab
click on the side-view button

The profile can't be loaded:

It'll be useful in order to be able to compare two profiles. There's a workaround: upload the profile, but it'd be better to avoid that.

For more context, the profile glue maps a tab browser object with its profile value (see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=symbol:%23infoForBrowserMap&redirect=false). I suppose that the sideview creates a different tab browser than the original one. Therefore the glue can't find the profile data. If we could be pingued with the old tabbrowser and the new tabbrowser, we could definitely change the map to account for that.
