When I try to open a link from an external software, in my case mostly discord, that which I click on, I get the profile manager opened, ask for which profile I should open from. If I already have the Firefox window for that profile open, I have to close the whole window and then it opens with all the tabs with a tab for the link I clicked on.

I would like to open tabs like how Chrome does, not asking for profile (yes, I know, I can just make things open on only one profile but I want to choose which one I want it to every single time without manager) and instead opens up from the profile window that I just had on.

I would like to open external links on an existing window and not close to open it.

So, ultimately, make my Firefox open link from the latest profile window I was on, and it does not require to close an existing window to open the link.

It should open the link in the chosen profile without having to close it first, make sure you aren't using the -no-remote or -new-instance command line arguments.

External links will open in the default profile or display the profile chooser, it is not possible to automatically open in the most recently used profile.

What do you mean by this..?

I don't know much about coding and config change, or anywhere that i can see where that is from

Uninstall Firefox, delete any existing shortcut icon on the desktop or in the taskbar, then reinstall Firefox.

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
