This feature looks more and more confusing.

How do the search providers (be it Gnome's or Plasma's variant) decide
which Firefox Profile to scrape?

I know that profiles are no security feature, but they serve a purpose
as separating different use cases/"realms" which a user operates in.

So, which databases does the Plasma version copy?

If I have several FF instances running (-no-remote), which one does
Gnome search talk to?

Do they do similar stuff with Chrome or other browsers?
