I created two distinct .desktop launchers for two different firefox profiles:
profile1.desktop
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=profile1
Keywords=profile1
Exec=firefox -P -no-remote profile1
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=profile1.png
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=profile1profile2.desktop
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/firefox_profile2.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=profile2
Keywords=profile2
Exec=firefox -P -no-remote profile2
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=profile2.png
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=profile2
I then added each desktop launcher to the dashboard (via right-click > add to favorites).
I am able to launch each profile from the respective launcher-icon in the dashboard.
So far so good.
However, when profile2 is launched, its window will be listed/collected under the profile1 (default) firefox dash icon, which can get quite confusing.
I would really like to display and collect windows from different firefox profiles under different dash items (i.e. icons in the dashboard).
I suspect the problem is - since both .dekstop launchers execute different processes of the same /usr/bin/firefox command - that they are automatically collected under some firefox dash icon...
Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this issue?
