Since people here like Palemoon, I'll share a little handy hack
Since I started using Palemoon (which was recommended to me by Parazyd
months ago) I missed very much the support of profiles. I need them to
start *quick* a new browser with one of the profiles I create,
isolating cookies and saved passwords (and what not) between them. I
need them badly for my workflow and chromium has changed the way to
switch so one now requires many more clicks following the usual ctrl-m
in older version. Plus chromium sucks (look at the rainfall of CVEs..)
So here it is a *small* script using simple functions in Palemoon to
start different profiles by their abbreviation (using dmenu or
so). This script in my system is called just '~/bin/p' (chmod +x of
course) so 'p profile' will open the profile manager. the `-no-remote`
flag is the trick to open several instances in parallel.
```
#!/usr/bin/env zsh
palemoon=/opt/palemoon/palemoon
profile="$1"
opts=""
ps ax | grep '[p]alemoon' > /dev/null
[[ $? = 0 ]] && {
# one is already running, run next with -no-remote
opts+=" -no-remote "
}
case $profile in
generic) $palemoon ${=opts} -P Default ;;
social) $palemoon ${=opts} -P Social ;;
devuan) $palemoon ${=opts} -P Devuan ;;
dyne) $palemoon ${=opts} -P DyneOrg ;;
profile*) $palemoon -ProfileManager ;;
*) $palemoon $* ;;
esac
```
happy hacking :^)
p.s. after quickwriting this I do realize it would better fit on
https://talk.devuan.org - the forum is taking off very well btw!
