Problem Description

So i made all my bookmarks on a Chromium based browser (Thorium if that matters) and not too long ago decided to test Firefox for multiple reasons, but without uninstalling the other browser i was using.

I already tried restarting Flow and my pc, making Firefox my default browser, imported the bookmarks to Firefox and removed them from the Chromium based browser, making new bookmarks directly from Firefox, configuring the browser bookmarks plugin, adding the data directory path, etc..

None of that worked and when i want to open any bookmark from Flow, it just opens the bookmark on the old browser (the Chromium based one) and i dont want to uninstall it just yet because im still not 100% sure if i will make the switch, but at the same time because i have a lot of configs and stuff i still have to move to Firefox, am i missing something? did i do something wrong?

My Firefox version is 115.17.0esr (64-bit)

To Reproduce

  1. Make a bookmark on a Chromium based browser or just make a new one on Firefox
  2. Try to open it on Flow
  3. Either it shows up (if made on Chromium based browser) or it doesnt if made on Firefox
  4. If it does show up, it will be open in the wrong browser (the non-default one)

Data directory path

(Yes, that is the correct path of the profile i am currently using in Firefox)

I also tried making the "Data Directory path" directly to the bookmarks folder, same result

Have you tried changing this option in Flow Launcher's settings?

The Firefox profile path you have there is the location of the places.sqlite file?
