firefox: Use a specific profile to allow multiple separate instances of Firefox to run at once.
$ firefox --profile ${path-to-directory} ${https:--example-com-}
try on your machine

This command launches the Firefox browser with a specific profile and opens the specified URL.

Let's break it down:

  • firefox is the command to launch the Firefox browser from the command line.
  • --profile is an option used to specify the profile (a collection of settings and data) to use when launching Firefox.
  • ${path-to-directory} should be replaced with the actual path to the directory that contains the profile you want to use. This is typically a folder on your computer's file system.
  • ${https:--example-com-} should be replaced with the actual URL you want to open in Firefox. The URL should be properly formatted and include the protocol (in this case, "https://") and the domain name.

So, when this command is executed, it will open Firefox using the specified profile and load the given URL.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
