Firefox 138+ stores profiles created with the new profile manager in "Profile Groups/<StoreID>.sqlite" (table Profiles), not in profiles.ini. Only the group's original profile keeps a profiles.ini entry, so Finicky listed names like "default-release" while about:profiles showed the group names, and the newer profiles could not be targeted at all. Upstream: johnste#534. Firefox profiles are now read from both sources. Group profiles are launched with "--profile <absolute dir>", the form Firefox's own profile switcher uses and, on macOS, the only form whose remote handoff reaches a running group profile; legacy profiles keep "-P <name>". An exact profiles.ini name wins over a group name, so existing configurations launch what they always did; a collision with different directories is logged. The profile directory name (or full path) is accepted as a fallback, matching the Chromium code path. Only stores referenced by a StoreID in profiles.ini are read, which is where Firefox records the ID when it populates a store; if nothing is referenced, every store in the directory is read. Rows whose directory no longer exists are dropped, since launching them would create an empty profile. The store is read with the sqlite3 CLI bundled with macOS, opened read only, so there is no new Go dependency or build change, and reads work while Firefox has the store open (WAL mode). A missing sqlite3 or an unreadable store is logged at Warn and noted in the "profile not found" message. The profile dropdown in the Finicky window lists group names first and hides a legacy alias of the same directory; a saved name that is not in the list still shows in the custom text field. Verified on Firefox 154 by launching a group profile with the emitted command and confirming the URL was handed to the running instance of that profile.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change adds Firefox profile-group discovery through the macOS sqlite3 command and launches group profiles by directory. If sqlite3 is unavailable or a store cannot be read, group profiles may not appear or resolve, while legacy profiles remain available; the PR is mergeable with owner awareness of this bounded runtime dependency.

- Around line 221-224: Change the fallback condition in the Firefox
group-profile store resolution so Glob runs only when len(storeIDs) == 0, not
merely when storePaths is empty; preserve an empty result when referenced
StoreID files are missing. Update
TestReadFirefoxGroupProfiles_FallbackToAllStores to cover a missing referenced
store returning no group profiles.

A referenced profile group store that is missing no longer falls back to scanning every store in the Profile Groups directory: those stores are unreferenced, so they are stale or empty, and launching one would open a profile the user did not ask for. The fallback now applies only when profiles.ini references no store at all, and a missing referenced store marks the read as unsuccessful so the "profile not found" warning says group profiles may be missing from the list.
