Allow using the default profile on Firefox #249

Open fancsali opened 1 year ago

When chosoing Epiphany as the browser to be used WebApp manager offers a choice between isolated instances and using the default browser instances/profile.

This way one doesn't need to log in several times (e.g. using several Google products as apps), and doesn't have to start several instances of the browser (these days browsers aren't exactly lightweight, and this does add up).

With Firefox, however, only separate, isolated profiles per app are possible at the moment.

I am proposing to enable said checkbox/feature for Firefox too.

Second this. Would be very useful to not have to enter in details for every site every time. Especially as it doesn't seem to "remember" the passwords entered in and some sites I use don't allow the "remember me" option and you have to enter in your log in every time.

Not just Epiphany - Chromium browsers have the isolated profile toggle too (tested with Ungoogled Chromium)

Agree, many websites today are interacting with each other. Isolated profiles is a good option for certain scenarios but for most is probably a bit cumbersome due to many authentications to the same wesites.

I can have this working in chromium (webapps using default profile) but would prefere to use Firefox. If only windowed-kiosk mode existed already...
