New description:

 1.-Multiple profiles:
  Allow to create limitless profiles of settings
 Why?
  By example an ISP that filter some websites.(with no sensitive
 information) Will require the minimum proxy settings.
 In the other hand a touchy things like criticizing the government will
 require something more anonymous settings.
 However if you need to submit sensitive documents and/or material you will
 need a high level privacy and anonymity.
 The solution: Have different profiles with your settings

 2.- Fast Profile switching and HotKey assignment:
 Give hotkeys to: Custom Profiles(switching between them) and menus inside
 torbutton tools menu to switch between them.
 Why?
  It may provide faster browsing while providing what is required from Tor.

Comment:

 This is outside of our scope. A different addon should handle full profile
 switching. In fact, I think there is one called 'Profile Switcher'. Or
 there used to be.
