How can i rename an existing Firefox profile?
by Skaperen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PEGC)
i'm setting up a system where i have a script that starts up Firefox for various purposes based on some arguments and other conditions. these work down to a profile name. this works OK except that one existing profile is in the way. so the script has a special test for that profile name and uses a different name instead. i would like to rename these two profiles so i don't need this test, anymore.
how can i rename an existing profile under Firefox so that i do not need to recreate it to get everything to be the same in a new one?
sorry, i cannot divulge the script. it would expose trade secrets of my company even though its my own script i use. it is written in Python3. it's not complicated after testing the arguments and conditions. once it has formed the project name it does the little test i want to remove and starts Firefox using the project name as the profile name.
