Setting a default profile for browser startup #351

Description

I hope I can set a default profile for browser startup. If so, no matter which profile was chosen when browser closed, the default profile will be applied the next time startup.

My computer is been used by multiple users but only myself have the need to use proxy. If I forgot to choose "no proxy" when closing the browser, the next user may not be able to browse websites (they know very little about computers).

Thank you for your great works,

You need to use Browser Profiles within your browser. The proxy settings will come with. You can even create desktop shortcut so each person use their own profile with one click.

Assuming you are using Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

For Firefox, it`s a bit complex: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles
