2.0.0

Breaking changes

• You can no longer use a default Firefox profile in run if you specify the --keep-profile-changes option. Previously, this would cause your default profile to be insecure and unsuitable for daily use which may not have been obvious (see #1005 for details). This was definitely a bug but fixing it technically introduced a breaking change. (#1007) (532951f)
