#Desktop shortcut for firefox windows 10#

I am running Windows 10 Pro on a computer that is basically a gamer machine. Right now I have selected to open tabs from last session upon opening FF. Other than the O/S date/timestamp, how do I determine which Firefox profile file is which? Some time ago there was an option to have shortcuts to internet apps such as GMAIL on your desktop which would open in their own Firefox window with no address bar.

Which Firefox profile is being used by the desktop? Which Firefox profile is being used by Task Scheduler (i.e. But, I can tell they are running different profiles because the 'history' and 'bookmarks' are different. Both are running Firefox version 94.0.2 64-bit. I know this because of how the Firefox windows are sequenced/grouped in the Task Bar. Both are running Firefox version 94.0.2 64-bit. Although they launch from and start in the same folder, it seems that Firefox launched from Task Scheduler is running a different Firefox profile than Firefox launched from a desktop icon.

I know where those are stored but I want to understand them from a different angle.Īlthough they launch from and start in the same folder, it seems that Firefox launched from Task Scheduler is running a different Firefox profile than Firefox launched from a desktop icon. One problem that still exists is that I now have two Firefox profiles in use. The creation of website desktop shortcuts in the Firefox web browser was an easy process but Mozilla made the decision to change Firefox's default behavior when you are dragging and dropping tabs from Firefox to an empty location on the desktop.Doing so created a shortcut to the web resource in previous versions of Firefox but doing so now will spawn a new Firefox window instead and display. I recently screwed up my Windows 10 Pro system and was able to get just about everything back.
