Bolt launcher using a different firefox profile #86

Whenever I launch Runelite through Bolt Launcher (arch linux, no flatpak), and I open a webbrowser through it (to login to RuneLite, or click the wiki picker thingy), it opens Firefox in a new profile. This is because the .mozilla folder with all the profiles is under the home folder of the user.

Bolt sets the user_home to ~/.local/share/bolt-launcher, which makes firefox create a new profile under ~/.local/share/bolt-launcher/.mozilla.

This doesn't seem to be an issue with Chromium browsers as they store their application data in XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

Yes, Firefox doesn't respect XDG base directories. This has been on mozilla's issue tracker for over 20 years. In the meantime, just symlink .mozilla to your home directory.
