Hi,
Thanks for your contribution.
A few points:
-
Please add the extra dependency to the setup file so it would include the dll file:
https://github.com/zumoshi/BrowserSelect/blob/master/BrowserSelect/installer.nsi#L40 -
As I mentioned in the comment, you need to also commit the csproj file
-
I get 2 firefoxes on a default installation before creating any profiles

Perhaps you have to remove one like I did for chrome? -
I'm not very familiar with how firefox profiles work so I may be doing something wrong but the app seems to lag behind one profile? (as in I create the profile, browserselect won't pick it up, I create another profile, it picks up the previous one)


I did run firefox with the new profile before clicking on refresh browsers from settings.
There are also some unlabeled firefox icons (without any profile name)
- If there are two firefox instances (of different profiles) open, trying to open a link in one of them just opens a new firefox window with no link
This feature was brought up in #14 but I didn't find any way to communicate with open instances to open a new tab in a specific profile which is why this wasn't implemented.
Which command-line flags are you using to open the link in a new tab of a running instance of a certain profile in firefox?

Please also include changes to the .csproj file, specifically this addition:
<Reference Include="INIFileParser, Version=2.5.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79af7b307b65cf3c, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<HintPath>..\packages\ini-parser.2.5.2\lib\net20\INIFileParser.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>|
I'll try resolving these issue later. It seems that there are some problems on Firefox handling link in specified profile. |

This seems to work consistently for me: This option seems to have been around for a while now (seems to have worked back in Jan 2020) for this user; Adding the new-tab parameter may ensure better (backward) support?? |


See here for official documentation on Firefox profiles management.
