--- Comment #2 from John <[email protected]> --- (In reply to TraceyC from comment #1) > I can reproduce this on git-master, using a shortcut for Firefox that opens > a specific profile > > Ex: > Program: firefox > Arguments: %u -p profile_name The fact that you tried to reproduce it with Firefox, reminded me that when you download the Tor browser from its official website: https://www.torproject.org/download/ As it's missing from some of the distros' native repositories or for having a newer version of it... And extract somewhere, you will have a 'tor-browser' folder with this content: - Browser (folder) - start-tor-browser.desktop (shortcut) The shortcut has this content: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Tor Browser Setup GenericName=Web Browser Comment=Tor Browser is a privacy-focused web browser designed to minimize tracking and fingerprinting, using the Tor network to protect your privacy and anonymity. Categories=Network;WebBrowser;Security; Exec=sh -c '"$(dirname "$*")"/Browser/start-tor-browser || ([ ! -x "$(dirname "$*")"/Browser/start-tor-browser ] && "$(dirname "$*")"/start-tor-browser)' dummy %k X-TorBrowser-ExecShell=./Browser/start-tor-browser --detach Icon=web-browser StartupNotify=true StartupWMClass=Tor Browser And it's icon is not showing up, like it did before! (I'm not sure if before it showed up from the beginning or only after you started it the first time. Maybe it was the later) Double-clicking on it also doesn't work, like it did before! (it just opens it for viewing / editing it in Kate, so the icons will never show now) And when you download Firefox stable, beta, nightly, ESR or developer version from its official website: https://www.firefox.com/en-US/download/all/desktop-release/linux64/en-US/ https://www.firefox.com/en-US/download/all/desktop-beta/linux64/en-US/ https://www.firefox.com/en-US/download/all/desktop-nightly/linux64/en-US/ https://www.firefox.com/en-US/download/all/desktop-esr/linux64/en-US/ https://www.firefox.com/en-US/download/all/desktop-developer/linux64/en-US/ You will have a 'firefox' folder and inside, besides the many other folders and files, you have the 'firefox' executable. Double-clicking on the 'firefox' executable doesn't start the web browser like before! And it just shows a warning at the top with this text: "For security reasons, launching executables is not allowed in this context." On a red background. Since LibreWolf, the browser that I'm using, is a Firefox fork, but doesn't have a download in an archive format, I looked at other Firefox forks and I tried this one: x86 64-bit GTK3, from https://www.basilisk-browser.org/download.html Extracted it and did the same thing as with Firefox itself,, entered the 'basilisk' folder and double-clicked on the 'basilisk' executable. It happened the same thing as with Firefox, the browser didn't open and the same message appeared at the top. I assume this is similar to other Firefox forks that give you archives or even other programs that give you archives to extract and run. Could this 4 regressions (missing icon and Tor browser not starting anymore, and both Firefox + Basilisk not starting anymore) be related in any way with the .desktop shortcuts not working anymore on the ~/Desktop when they are put in 1-2 folders deep? Thank you very much Tracey for looking at it! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
