Hello everyone,

I’m encountering a bizarre issue. I keep a Flatpak version of Firefox installed for certain websites that don't work well with the privacy settings I use in Abrowser.

However, when I try to launch Abrowser, it opens Firefox instead.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my output of `usr/bin/abrowser`:

Indeed, I always start abrowser with "abrowser -P", which shows the profile manager and allows to select a profile or add and remove profiles. On a computer with at least 8GB memory, I usually have 2 abrowser with different profiles running in parallel.

EDIT: I also sometimes run icecat from Guix in parallel. Be careful that Guix may take a lot of space in the root partition, and updates of Guix take a lot more time and CPU than Trisquel's updates.

This is immensely helpful. Thank you so much to both of you.

I have decided to attempt to reinstall my OS—to fix this issue.
But, upon my new installation I will look into `abrowser` profiles.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate all of your time and responses.
