See here for official documentation on Firefox profiles management.

Running a few more tests it seems firefox now correctly handles -p profile link. Interesting, It didn't do that before. We need to do some tests to detect which version has introduced this change and either auto-detect it or provide an option in case someone is still using a pre-Quantum firefox version.

The weird behavior of opening a new window without a link seems to have something to do with how Program.Args2Str escapes the arguments: image

That still doesn't explain the missing profile names though. But since there is now support in firefox for this I will merge it as soon as the issues are resolved.

I'll try resolving these issue later. It seems that there are some problems on Firefox handling link in specified profile.

This seems to work consistently for me: firefox.exe -P default -new-tab "http://www.example.com" See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#-new-tab_url

This option seems to have been around for a while now (seems to have worked back in Jan 2020) for this user; https://stackoverflow.com/a/59889290

Adding the new-tab parameter may ensure better (backward) support??
