Profilemanager opening nothing (lemmy.ml)

Background: I use profiles frequently to separate work, home and other things. In some profiles I use other DRM and fingerprint settings etc Also I switched from installing from flathub to manual (https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/)

Issue: Since a couple of weeks, some profiles dont start. Choosing them will amount to nothing. Librewolf doesnt start, not in the background nor in the foreground. Choosing another profile and after that, the intended one sometimes works around the issue.

Research:

The installs.ini shows the default profile TWO times:

[AA67A15BF0F93AE3] Default=Thuis Locked=1

[6C4726F70D182CF7] Default=Thuis Locked=1

Both installs are also mentioned in profiles.ini.

Question:

  • Is having 2 install entries the cause? Because the profilemanager doesnt know what to do?
  • Should I remove one of them but which? Opening the /.librewolf/Thuis profile doesnt give information which one is in use. Or I dont know where to look. Assuming this will help of course.
