FF as the default browser. is it possible to set such that when I open links on other apps, firefox launches a private window for those links?
there seems a similar option but it has a side effect, FF normal launch also becomes private (incognito).

I modified Braus source code (it’s in Python) to use private Firefox windows, but I don’t remember the details. Possibly you just need to create a new .desktop file for private window and it will just work on Linux. Except that unless you choose a new icon, you’ll have 2 firefox options in menu and won’t know which one is private and which one is normal.
Braus is new to me, tho at a glance looks less capable overall than Junction.
Looks like Junction supports firefox profiles via .desktop entries, so it would also support launching via the private CLI flag (firefox -private-window iirc).
Might be easier to keep up with than modding Braus source code in the long run.

Like other gnome circle apps it heavily encourages flatpak but its available on arch official and other distro package managers.
I’ve heard of Junction but don’t remember why I chose not to use it, possibly it’s too big in size or something compared to Braus.
True, Braus is pretty limited.
