save-last-active-firefox-profile

This repo for tracking the last active profile and storing the profile name in a file. We can use it to open external url to the last active profile, just like google chrome.

# update /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop or /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/firefox_firefox.desktop
# depends on which file is set for default browser
Exec=/yourpath/firefox -P "$(result=$(head -n 1 /yourpath/output.txt); [ -z "$result" ] && echo "default" || echo "$result")" -new-tab %u
