[Bug 1835024] Re: firefox fails to use the default profile from classic snaps

[Sebastien Bacher]

That's a firefox issue, the problem is there
https://sources.debian.org/src/firefox/82.0-1/toolkit/profile/nsToolkitProfileService.cpp/?hl=1840#L1823

The classic snap call the default browser from the system but from the
snap environment that has SNAP_NAME defined or firefox has code to
disable profiles in such cases...

The issue is easy to trigger using the deb, just do 'SNAP_NAME=bug
firefox https://www.ubuntu.com'

** Summary changed:

- Links triggered within most snap apps open in a separate browser session
+ firefox fails to use the default profile from classic snaps

** Package changed: xdg-utils (Ubuntu) => firefox (Ubuntu)
