Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open link from Slack.

Actual results:

Firefox window appeared, I opened bookmarks and there was none I configured before. If I open firefox as usual, bookmarks are displayed, but not if window is opened from Slack. A bunch of other configurations are missing too, like themes. But other extensions are the same.

Expected results:

Bookmarks should be the same in both Firefox windows, no matter where it was opened from. Same for history, themes, etc.

Turned out that the problem was in "default" profile. For some reason Slack (installed with snap) was using "default" profile instead of real default "default-release". When I deleted "default" profile, it all started to work as it has to (as far as I can tell). I don't really understand is it snap problem that links are opened in the wrong profile, or Firefox or Slack though.
