Trevor, can you help me with this? What I would like to have here is a set of shortcuts, or some other navigation ways.
If you can give me some example I can propose a patch. Thanks.

What could be done here is to give the buttons like "Start with this profile", "new profile" etc. access keys (on Windows, those are pressed together with alt) so the user doesn't have to leave the list of profiles to execute these buttons. There is nothing we can do about the navigation in the list, this will still be by arrow keys. But adding some sensible (and localizable) access keys to the buttons should help.

I would also like to have the keyboard shortcuts for 'Work offline' and 'Use the selected profile without asking at startup', respectively → Alt+O and Alt+S (as in the old Profile Manager). 
Andrea, should I file a separate bug? Or do you already have these two under your radar, along with the ones Alice mentioned in comment 0?

Tracking since this is a regression in 46. 
I think this will be addressed in bug 1232629.

Fixed by backouts in the duplicate bug
