Firefox profile issue
walseb opened this issue · comments
Hello!
Thanks so much for this package!
In this function:
(defun ibrowse-core-get-firefox-dir ()
"Try to get the Firefox data directory."
(let* ((firefox-dirlist
(append
(file-expand-wildcards "~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default")
(file-expand-wildcards
(expand-file-name "Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*"
(getenv "APPDATA"))))))
(when firefox-dirlist
(concat
(expand-file-name
(car (seq-sort #'file-newer-than-file-p firefox-dirlist))
(getenv "HOME"))
"/"))))It searches for Firefox profiles named *.default in ~/.mozilla/firefox/, however, when I install Firefox using nix-home-manager, it puts the profiles in that folder without any .default postfix. It just creates folders using the name of the profile.
This causes ibrowse.el to think I don't have Firefox installed.
Changing the function to the following fixes the problem, and selects the default profile, which is an issue if you have many profiles, but I only care about the default profile for now:
(defun ibrowse-core-get-firefox-dir ()
"Try to get the Firefox data directory."
(let* ((firefox-dirlist
(append
(file-expand-wildcards "~/.mozilla/firefox/default") ;; Only line changed
(file-expand-wildcards
(expand-file-name "Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*"
(getenv "APPDATA"))))))
(when firefox-dirlist
(concat
(expand-file-name
(car (seq-sort #'file-newer-than-file-p firefox-dirlist))
(getenv "HOME"))
"/"))))I thought I would just report this issue in case anyone else runs into it. Ideally, ibrowse.el would be able to select which browser profile to pick from inside ~/.mozilla/firefox/ I think.
Would that work on your side with (file-expand-wildcards "~/.mozilla/firefox/*default") ?
If yes, that would probably work in both cases, so that should be a quickfix.
This should work, I'm going to make this quickfix.
Hi! I tried (file-expand-wildcards "~/.mozilla/firefox/*default") just now, and it works. Thanks!
