RFE: Silent Running mode

I semi-regularly use shared computers, sometimes belonging to family members who could benefit from NoScript, but who would never take the time and effort to learn how to use it (eg grandparents). On these machines, I often install NoScript, but configure it to hide: scripts globally allowed, no release notes, no icons, full permissions for trusted sites, etc. However, when I'm the one using the machine, I'd like to have NoScript temporarily restore full protection, returning to stealth mode at the end of the session.

Is it feasible to add a stealth mode option to NoScript, automatically setting the above configuration options, with a menu item to temporarily disable it? Maybe in conjunction with the first-run wizard suggested by access2godzilla?

Different Profiles?
A small batch file that would select one of two prefs.js before starting up FF?

That, with ad hoc launch shortcuts.
Additional benefit: all of your preferences, bookmarks and history would be kept separated from theirs.

That probably is the best option. Thanks :).
