Web browser paths to global variable?

[nobody43]

There are many programs that needs the ability to launch web browser for them. Now we have only specific Firefox profile to point to. But users might have different installation of FF or they might use different browser altogether.
How this could be fixed?

This is usually handled by child-open. See https://apparmor.pujol.io/development/structure/#children-profiles
However, this only cover the program started by tool like xdg-open.

OK, thanks. Any suggestions on how to refactor profiles like thunderbird and qbittorrent?

Thunderbird use an program like xdg-open, simply replace rCx -> open, by rPx -> child-open (and remove the open subprofile) and that should be OK. For qbittorrent, they seem to open the program directly so there is no solution right now. The way I see a solution would be to create an open abstraction that allow to start the same program than in child-open.
