Internal architecture
Archived data layout on disk

Unfortunately, the user must make the profile to be used manually, either with firefox --createProfile ArchiveBox or by going to about:profiles and selecting "Create a New Profile". A separate profile is needed because firefox doesn't allow the default instance to be opened in the same profile at the same time as the headless instance. Creating a profile could be automated, but the proccess involves reading profiles.ini (and well, modifying user profiles) which I'm not sure is at the scope of this project.
