Firefox Profile Runner

This plugin allows you to launch Firefox profiles from Krunner and your normal launcher. It saves the Desktop Actions for the profiles in a local copy of the firefox.desktop file. This mean you can search for the profiles in your normal launcher.

• Saves the Desktop Actions for the profiles in a local copy of the firefox.desktop file. This mean you can search for the profiles in your normal launcher.

To get the icon for the private window you have to extract it:

mkdir -p /tmp/firefoxprofile_installer
unzip /usr/lib/firefox/browser/omni.ja -c "chrome/browser/skin/classic/browser/privatebrowsing/favicon.svg" -d /tmp/firefoxprofile_installer > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo mv /tmp/firefoxprofile_installer/chrome/browser/skin/classic/browser/privatebrowsing/favicon.svg /usr/share/pixmaps/private_browsing_firefox.svg
rm -rf /tmp/firefoxprofile_installer

If you install it manually for Firefox-ESR you should adjust the icon in src/plasma-runner-firefoxprofilerunner.desktop and change the path for the unzip command

Screenshots

Overview

The plugin gets triggered by firef.

Search

After the trigger word you can search the profiles.

Config Dialog

If you uncheck the options to register the normal/private window launch options profiles globally you can not launch the profiles like in the last screenshot.
If the following option is checked the option to launch a normal window with the default profile is not shown. This is useful, because the default profile can be launched with the "Applications" plugin.
The option to always show private windows is demonstrated in the first screenshot.

Using the Move Up/Down buttons you can change the order of the options.
The text field below is used to rename the profiles. This does not modify the Firefox configuration, just the displayed name for the runner.
