Yeah, this is about the hackiest hack you can hack. If OP says it works then great, I guess, but profiles are exactly this just built-in and tested.
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 the about:profile
, it is showing up as a separate profile in my main ff.

I need persistancy.
