The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

--allow-downgrade is one time action, you need to specify it during profile migration only. You can remove the option once you run Firefox with the migrated profile.

"Launcher Process" is Windows-only. Forwarding to... "Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System"?

Then I guess my use case doesn't make sense. I figured it would just try without complaining and make switching between release and nightly (yeah, I know, but it's nothing backups won't fix) more convenient.

Not really? Start with --allow-downgrade and then do something like xdg-open https://www.example.com/
Does that help?

I've tested that myself and it works fine. Can you be more specific about the versions you're using (presumably more than one if you're using -allow-downgrade), which is the default and the exact steps you take to initially launch Firefox.

Oops.
This is not a Firefox bug but an issue with my firejail setup.
Sorry.
