Multiple Firefox profiles not detected or displayed about browsers HOT 17 CLOSED

Fixed for me, thank you

Hi. Could you also attach a screenshot?

I see. There is no profile name in the Firetox option in Browsers. This means Browsers doesn't recognize it as Firefox but just "some browser".

It identifies Firefox by the .desktop file name right now. Could you find out the name of the .desktop file that Firefox uses in your distro?

Update: ah, there is a profile name,it was just covered by editing the picture. Then this issue might be resolved with 0.5.2.

from browsers.

[andreas@amnesix ~]$ rpm -ql firefox | grep desktop
/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop

That is from Fedora 37, but I do share the symptoms.
firefox.txt

from browsers.

Sorry for never getting back to this. The name and content of the desktop file looks correct.
Does the problem still exist?

from browsers.

Yes, problem still exist on 0.5.1

Upd: resolved by manually clean up ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini from [Install######] items, but not sure how they appears. So, until bug fixed, can profile disappear again?

from browsers.

Hey! The original issue is slightly different - about seeing no profiles.

Do you refer to default-release profile being missing?

If it happens again, please share your profiles.ini

from browsers.

Yes, default-release is missing
When I deleting install.ini and items in profiles.ini, Browsers sees all profiles
But on next Firefox launch everything broke again
Files:
installs.txt
profiles.txt

Which Linux distribution do you use?
How is Firefox package installed? apt/snap/something else?

from browsers.

openSUSE Slowroll (Tumbleweed)
zypper (I think rpm is builds somewhere here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/MozillaFirefox or https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Slowroll/MozillaFirefox)

$ firefox --full-version 
Mozilla Firefox 121.0.1 20240108143603 20240108143603

Could you try out this experimental build - https://nightly.link/Browsers-software/browsers/workflows/ci/firefox-ignore-lock

(it will be ready once https://github.com/Browsers-software/browsers/actions/runs/7746747952 finishes)

Nightly shows only Firefox without profiles

Thanks for reporting back!

Could you also attach the logs (logs directory is visible in About dialog and also Settings...->Advanced->Directories? Please also refresh the profiles before.

Nightly shows only Firefox without profiles

This is probably caused by the fact that linux binary assumes resources are relative to the executable at ../resources/...

0.5.2 is now released with the same fix, let me know if all Firefox profiles show up if installing the release version.
