## Guide
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: create Firefox profile
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: open “Script Editor” and paste following snippet
|
|
|
|
Replace `work` with profile name from [step 1](#step-1-create-firefox-profile).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
do shell script "nohup /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p \"work\" --no-remote > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: export script as application
|
|
|
|
Click “File”, then “Export…”, set “Export As” filename to “Firefox work” (or any other filename), select “Applications” folder (in “Favorites”), select “Application” file format and click “Save”.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 4: set Firefox app environment variable
|
|
|
|
Replace `Firefox work` with filename from [step 3](#step-3-export-script-as-application).
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
FIREFOX_APP="Firefox work.app"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 5: configure app as agent and set icon
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
defaults write "/Applications/$FIREFOX_APP/Contents/Info.plist" LSUIElement -bool yes
|
|
cp "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/firefox.icns" "/Applications/$FIREFOX_APP/Contents/Resources/applet.icns"
|
|
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -f "/Applications/$FIREFOX_APP"
|
|
```
