Add private window and profile selection to "alt" options for firefox

Actual behaviour

  • When querying Firefox and holding alt, there is two options: Run and Run as root

Suggested behaviour

  • Add more options: New private window & list available profiles.

I know you can start a new private window with Firefox hotkeys if its running,
this would very useful if it is not.

This is a very specific wish for Firefox alt actions, maybe a more general approach would be better for the long run. So a way to customize alt actions would also be cool.

Somewhat related. #502 (Make modifiers custimizeable)

For me, there are four options in the alt menu for Firefox:

  1. Run
  2. Run as root
  3. Open new window
  4. Open new private window

I'm using Albert launcher 0.16.1.

Do you mean, that these alt actions should be on the firefox item which comes from the applications extension?

I just remembered, that the .desktop specification recognizes alternative actions and albert displays those in the alt menu.

This already works.

As for the profiles selection, this would be out of scope for the applications extension but as workaround you could define your own alternative actions in the .desktop file
