Configure Profile Switcher to Work with Forks on MacOS

[cobcobs]

I am trying to configure this extension to work with LibreWolf on MacOS. I tried following #8 but I am unable to get it to work. I think I am symlinking the ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json file properly with the following command:

sudo ln -sf "$(brew ls -l firefox-profile-switcher-connector | grep -i ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json | head -n1)" "/Library/Application Support/librewolf/NativeMessagingHosts"/ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json

However, I do not think I am able to configure the profile switcher using the second steps you outlined in that issue:

mkdir -p ~/.config/firefoxprofileswitcher
echo '
{
    "browser_profile_dir": "'"$HOME"'/Application\ Support/Librewolf",
    "browser_binary": "/Applications/LibreWolf.app/Contents/MacOS/librewolf"
}
' > ~/.config/firefoxprofileswitcher/config.json

I found that it still points to the directory for Firefox profiles. Is there a different directory for the firefoxprofileswitcher on MacOS?

Did you find any solution?

@ungeschneuer Sadly I did not :(

I think Macos applications might expect the config in application support or smth.

Create a file in ~/Library/Preferences/ax.nd.nulldev.FirefoxProfileSwitcher/config.json and it should work

Don't know if this helps anyone but I was unaware that you can manage profiles directly from about:profiles in the URL bar (create, delete, set as default, launch profile in new browser).
