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

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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,
