Plasma and Firefox are both great pieces of powerful software, but sometimes they do not match well. I describe how I made a Firefox wrapper to make it behave well with Plasma’s Activities.
A script to make KDE Plasma and Firefox work hand-in-hand
@InverseParallax@semperverus if I understood https://yuenhoe.com/blog/2012/08/associating-firefox-profiles-with-kde-activities/ correctly, it uses a protocol called XSMP which programs need to support, but for me it only ever changed things inside plasmashell so either not a lot of programs support XSMP or XSMP doesnt work on Wayland. I think it would be more useful if it integrated Flatpak and snap, and used them to mount a different config directory based on the activity an app was launched it but idk if that would work well
