  • I thought about this solution, as it is the “cleanest”, however I need on total 4 firefox derivatives. Unfortunately, when looking deeply into the options, i haven’t found 4 that are similarly trustworthy, well maintained etc. Also i have my firefox config fully figured out, it works and is as private as i want them, without some maintainer forcing their opinion on my use cases. Plain firefox is the easiest to configure, as it’s like a blank start. However i might be wrong here and am open to suggestions :D


  • Unfortunately that is not what I am looking for. I am already using named profiles. Like i stated in my original post as well as my answers below, this only works from Inside Firefox, however from the operating system pov it is still treated as the same application. Which means:

    a) When i share the work profile, i also share all other profiles, as they are all Firefox b) When I quick access firefox via spotlight, i end up at the nearest, random profile / instance of firefox. c) There is no way to differentiate the profiles on an application level. d) I can not assign the instances to different desktops, as they are all Firefox.




  • Thanks for the hints, this definitely helped, however it did not solve the issue.

    What i did:

    1. I changed via omv-firstaid the omv port from 80 to 8081.
    2. I confirmed with ss -ltn that this change was successful and i see the listening port 80 vanished, while this now popped up:

    State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port

    LISTEN 0 511 0.0.0.0:8081 0.0.0.0:*

    1. I tested locally via ssh from the pi the connection via curl http://mylocalip:8081/ and it works, i get the html back
    2. I tested from my laptop (connected to my router via WiFi, where the raspberry is meshed into via the repeater in between) and i still get the timeout.
    3. I tried tunneling again via ssh ssh -L 8081:localhost:8081 pi@raspberrypi.local and i did not get any errors this time. However when i open the local url in the browser i get a connection reset and my terminal shows me channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed. However this just says that TcPForwarding is disabled, which is fine, so that tunneling issue should not be the main problem, i assume.
