1560333 - Visual studio opens Firefox in wrong profile

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1555319

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[maroonmoon]

Attachment: LinkToClickInVisualStudio

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

• Set Firefox as my default browser
• Open Visual Studio 2019 project from a Git repo.
• Commit and sync changes for Visual studio to prompt to "Create a pull Request"
• Click it

Actual results:

When I click this, FF will open in a new profile, rather than the default profile.

Expected results:

With older versions of FF, the link would open in the default Profile. If FF was already running, a new tab would be created.

Hi @maroonmoon, for now what can I do is setting a component to it, if isn't the proper one please fell free to change it. Further, someone from dev's team could give us a hand.
Thanks.
