Here is what I have learnt:

Selenium 1: As Ioan suggested earlier, use "-firefoxProfileTemplate" when starting up the Selenium RC server and point to the location of your Firefox profile.

Selenium 2: I suppose you can use the Selenium 1 RC server, however, since Selenium 2 uses WebDriver, you can point to the profile information within your code.

File profileDir = new File("/Users/_____/selenium/FFprofile");
FirefoxProfile profile =
new FirefoxProfile(profileDir);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(
    profile);

Notes:

1. Make sure you run "firefox -profilemanager" to create your initial profile and save your login information.
2. Allow the browser/website to always store your authentication credentials avoiding "popup"/"login" wwindows, etcs.

Hope this helps somebody who may run into a similar issue: Using the same browser profile in Selenium, etc.
