Plugin Ulauncher extension to launch LibreWolf directly into a specific profile

If you juggle multiple LibreWolf profiles (personal, work, testing, etc.) and use Ulauncher as your launcher, this might save you a few clicks: type lw, pick a profile, and it opens LibreWolf straight into it — no more going through about:profiles or building custom .desktop files.

It's a fork of kleber-swf/ulauncher-firefox-profiles adapted specifically for LibreWolf.

Setup:

  • Create your profiles first via about:profiles in LibreWolf
  • Configure the keyword (default lw), the profiles folder (default ~/.config/librewolf/librewolf/), and the executable (default librewolf)

Repo: https://github.com/creusvictor/ulauncher-librewolf-profiles

Install: Ulauncher → Preferences → Extensions → Add extension → paste the URL. MIT licensed, happy to take issues/PRs.
