Hi guys, I know I can easily make a launcher file in ~/.local/share/applications for it but I don’t know what arguments to put in Exec= line to launch a specific profile. I know it is possible but I don’t know how to find it

The list of possible CLI parameters can be found in the Mozilla wiki https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/CommandLineOptions
or
firefox --helpYou’re right I’m a noob I didn’t realize that these also have man pages
that’s completely fine :)
I think the biggest part of learning Linux is learning where to get help. Most programs have a help dialog with --help or -h, or man pages you can find somewhere. Even the terminal has a help dialog if you just type “help”, most things are more user friendly than they seem!
If man pages are difficult to read, I recommend installing tealdeer (tldr). it shows a short summary of example command usages and it’s great (e.g.
tldr lsshows the different ways you can usels)Thanks I have tealdear installed after I saw the mental outlaw’s video about it after months back. It is great indeed
First mental outlaw reference I’ve seen in the wild, 🍻
All the possible options explained very well here thanks
