Extremely Frustrating Experience Creating Firefox Profile Shortcuts — Leaving Firefox

Hello Mozilla community,

I want to share my extremely frustrating experience while trying to create desktop shortcuts for Firefox profiles. I have two profiles, and despite following all standard methods (including manually navigating to the profile folders), nothing worked. The usual steps, including directly creating shortcuts from the profile folder or using suggested tools, failed.

I specifically wanted a way to create exact shortcuts for each profile without manually editing anything. Even after testing everything, the only option left seems to be permanently leaving the profile inside Firefox and opening it from there, which defeats the purpose of quick access.

Due to this unnecessarily complicated process and lack of practical solutions, I have decided to leave Firefox permanently and switch to another browser.

Has anyone successfully created direct shortcuts for multiple Firefox profiles in Windows 11 without manual editing? Any practical advice would be appreciated, although I’m already moving away from Firefox.

Thank you. https://chatgpt.com/share/68e37504-cb3c-8002-8b05-f93a0edb5e02

When using any dark Firefox theme on ChromeOS, the contextual menu text and background are both dark. This means there is little to no contrast, and so the text is very difficult to read.

Unfortunately, the ChromeOS screenshot tool doesn't work on Linux apps, and so I'm unable to share a screenshot. Tested using several dark themes, including the default -- behaviour was consistent in all.

Firefox installed using the official package through the built-in ChromeOS Linux VM "crostini". Issue has been reported by other users on other platforms in the past, so this seems to be a long-standing bug.

Hello again guys,


when I play a video in Firefox, it doesn't keep the screen on.

I need this accessibility feature.

This happens, at least, with Debian 12's Firefox (uptodate), like over 1 year now.

Please help with that too.

Thanks in advance!


Regards from Germany, Johannes

Using your Firefox browser is become less and less likely due to so many issues now starting to compound given being forced to use Windows 11.

Your drop down list does not include my issue here...

Whenever trying to upload images to Blue Sky and as of today, images to articles published on LinkedIn, I'm being forced to use any browser except Firefox.

For some reason, Firefox is not allowing image to be posted whether copied and pasted or uploaded, as once I do that the images all turn black.

Recently affecting downloading PDF files from LinkedIn also... though once saved, thankfully the PDF us usable.

Previous issues were how I could no longer access ChatGPT using Firefox.

Now it is my fear that Firefox is no longer keeping up with the massive changes that are happening.

Please fix?

Thank you in advance, Trish

PS: If you need me to SHOW you, I can do that. Just let me know via email and I will comply to your request.

When I installed Firefox, I struggled to find a theme that was easy for me to see. So many had dark borders/backgrounds or busy backgrounds or transparent. It appears that I'm using the default at present and am happy with everything but the visibility of those little icons. Is there is a way to make them darker? Thanks
