Thank you for your bug report, is slack explicitly asking for the
profile 'default'? Or are you just reporting that it opens the wrong
profile?

The profile naming changed recently upstream, see
https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1264072

If the issue is the wrong profile it sounds similar to bug #1835024

Title:
  Default Profile is called "default-release", programs like Slack open
  links with different "default" profile

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Firefox 82.0
  Ubuntu 20.04

  The default profile in the Ubuntu Firefox package is called "default-
  release", while the typical profile name for Firefox is "default".

  Slack opens links using the default profile when Firefox is the
  browser, causing links to open in a different profile than normal
  without the extensions , history, etc. from the normal browsing
  profile.

  To reproduce: 
   - Set up Firefox in Ubuntu , run session to generate profile, install 
extensions 
   - Install Slack from snap : snap install slack 
   - Firefox as default browser in Ubuntu
   - Open link in Slack 

  Slack opens the "default" profile of Firefox, which is different than
  the "default-release" that the Ubuntu firefox package defaults to.

  Expected: Ubuntu Firefox uses the normal "default" profile as default.

  Cheers,
