Here’s a tip to make using Firefox profiles easy.
- go to
about:profiles
and create a profile. Let’s call this one “better” because it has the Betterfox css added. (an example) - On Linux typing
firefox
in a terminal will launch the default profile. Typingfirefox -p better
will launch the “better” profile. If you’re on OS X or Windows just find out what the equivalent command would be to execute the launch. - Go to wherever you need to in your operating system to create custom keyboard shortcuts. For me that’s Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts. Create a new shortcut with the following information.
Name: Firefox profile better
Command: firefox -p better
Keys: enter the keys you want to use
How to choose keys;
My desktop environment uses super(windows) + b to launch the default browser, which happens to be Firefox. So for me it makes sense to use something like super + shift + b for consistency, and easy to remember. If you have a profile with Arkenfox css it could be super + shift + a. Regardless, try for a mnemenic and consistent solution.
Now whenever you want to launch a new instance of a Firefox profile just tap the keys you assigned.
Good point, however, no one should be promoting ExpressVPN as any kind of secure option in the first place. It’s owned by a person who is notorious for creating and deploying malware.
