Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a website in SSB mode with firefox --ssb URL in a terminal or from a .desktop file on Linux

Actual results:

A blank SSB window opens

Expected results:

A SSB window with the specified URL should open. If I specify a profile with -P or --profile it works perfectly. So it seems like launching with only --ssb doesn't use the default profile if none is passed as an argument.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.
