Public bug reported:
Firefox 82.0
Ubuntu 20.04
The default profile in the Ubuntu Firefox package is called "default-
release", while the typical profile name for Firefox is "default".
Slack opens links using the default profile when Firefox is the browser,
causing links to open in a different profile than normal without the
extensions , history, etc. from the normal browsing profile.
To reproduce:
- Set up Firefox in Ubuntu , run session to generate profile, install
extensions
- Install Slack from snap : snap install slack
- Firefox as default browser in Ubuntu
- Open link in Slack
Slack opens the "default" profile of Firefox, which is different than
the "default-release" that the Ubuntu firefox package defaults to.
Expected: Ubuntu Firefox uses the normal "default" profile as default.
Cheers,
