Need a little help with About:Profiles page 

have xfce but a weird bug on my machine its not a show stopper but annoying if i open firefox and type about:profiles ir shows you profiles on Firefox you get a box to open the file which should open Thunar (file manager) to show files, but mine opens Sublime text ????

See https://i.imgur.com/EErkzo6.png here I am on Arch Linux with Xfce & DWM combo spoke to other XFCE & DWM users they have weird issues like nothing happens or a text editor opens on theirs ?

So just wondered if it was a FF issue

Hi Turns out it was a Sublime Text issue which had been set as File Manager

This can be an issue with "xdg-desktop-portal", you may have to install some packages like xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. 

sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Whether to use gtk portal for the file picker. 0:never 1:always 2:auto (true for flatpak or GTK_USE_PORTAL=1, false otherwise)

  • about:config => widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker = 0

HI The package xdg-desktop-portal-gtk is already installed on my Arch system. In FF widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker was set to 2 I have tried setting to widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker = 0 but makes no difference ! I have rebooted bot FF and my O/S and same issue

It works for me with the apt, snap and flatpak packages on Ubuntu.

See what is used when running:

xdg-open <profile path>

Try changing widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.open-uri to 0.
