Since you are running
firefox
instead of./firefox
, I guess you are using your system-wide firefox anyway. You can just use the built-in profile manager instead.But when I check the
about:profile
, it indicates the root directory not as my main one. Like if my main ff is in/home/user/.mozilla
then my instance's root directory is showing/home/user/firefox1/.mozilla
.weirdly enough, when i launch ff by
./firefox --no-remote
and check theabout:profile
, it is showing up as a separate profile in my main ff. \
