A Specific Profile Name Triggers a Problem w/Firefox Accounts
When I create a profile with a name and then open that profile, the first thing I do is log in to Firefox Accounts if I need to. The problem is, if I use the name I want to use, I get what you see attached. Why is this happening?

This happens right after I create the profile. Firefox does not block cookies and local storage by default.

Do you mean the profile name that you create in the Profile Manager (about:profiles)? I don't know why that would make any difference, unless it is creating a problem with accessing files in your profile folder for some reason. Have you noticed a pattern as to which characters create the problem?
Whether I create it through the profile manager within the browser or at startup by executing `firefox -P`, the same happens. It doesn't have to do with a specific kind of character, but rather a very specific name. If I use a different name, regardless of the characters, this problem occurs.
What is the name you are having issues with?
That is in use by systems and programs. Try using something else.
I don't know why "Dev" should be a problem. You could file a bug:
If it's possible for you to do that, I'd appreciate that very much, as you will be much more easily noticed than if I sign up and file the bug.
