When I click a link in VS Code or Slack they'll both open in a new Firefox window with no extensions (so new profile I'm guessing, but I'm still signed in on it) instead of the existing Firefox window. Some apps like mailspring open in my existing Firefox window correctly. Or when I open a googler link in my terminal they'll also open correctly in the existing Firefox window.

I have tried going to about:config and changing browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external from -1 to 3 and it made no difference.

Running Manjaro Gnome.

You can open the about:profiles page via the location bar to check whether multiple profiles are present and what profile Firefox currently is using.

Firefox 67 and later can use a dedicated profile for each of the Firefox update channels and will lock the profile, so it can only be used by Firefox in a specific installation folder. For Release versions this profile would be a xxxxxxxx.default-release profile, profiles used in older Firefox versions usually used a xxxxxxxx.default profile (a refresh adds a time stamp).

Thanks! Looks like it was launching firefox using "default-release", but then external applications were launching firefox using the "default" profile. Per this thread I deleted the "default-release" profile and everything is working as expected.
