I thought this wasn't going to affect me since Mike's comment that if Firefox starts from the same folder, it won't create a new profile.
Well, I decided to switch to 64-bit when we go to ESR 68 - that changes the folder and creates a new profile...
After going back thru my archives of these emails and scouring the forums, I was finally able to find the exact environment variable to suppress this:

MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES = 1

Could this PLEASE be added to the group policy template?

I tried to add this to the MSI via transform, but your MSI doesn't seem to want to add environment variables or registry settings :(
Luckily, I wrap all my installations with Powershell - if anyone needs it, the powershell command to add a system environment variable is:

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES', '1', [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
