Same here. I have to trust/use an extension and third party desktop application (Progressive Web Apps for Firefox) to get this feature to work and not have to rely on Chrome/Edge/etc.

I can easily see less patient or understanding users dropping Firefox if they find out it doesn't work with Progressive Web Apps.

My problem with that extension is the separate profile requirement (so new links can't open in a specific profile), and some things (like Slack) don't fully work outside Chromium.

My solution works like this:

  • Slack open as PWA in Chromium in profile Work
  • Click link to http://that
  • Extension captures the request, cancels the new tab/window, sends the URL and profile name to a small service running on localhost
  • Service opens Firefox with same profile to URL

The extension is set to skip this process if the base URL is the same as the current site (Slack.com/google.com/etc).

Note: Why would someone down vote you for a helpful response? Sheash.
