This is not a very friendly design for localization. Please don't use a badge for this type of information, it should be explained in the text.

Downloading a profile was only reachable from inside the single "Upload Local Profile" menu, so users looking to save a profile to disk had no way to discover it from the toolbar. Replace that single menu with two buttons, "Download…" and "Share…", each with its own icon. Both open the same options panel; only the heading and the action button differ, so Download saves the profile to a file and Share uploads it for a shareable link. Closes firefox-devtools#3620

The profile menu was labeled "Upload Local Profile" with an upload icon, so the Download button tucked inside its dialog was easy to miss for users who just wanted to save a profile to disk.
Rename the menu button to "Save This Profile…" and give it a save icon. In the panel, present the Download and Upload actions as two destination cards instead of a pair of buttons, and add an "applies to both" badge to the include-options heading to make clear those choices affect either destination. The upload card reads "Re-upload" when the profile is already published.
Closes #3620
