interesting you mention. because Firefox doesn't have a way to disable the single instance functionality which was used on this telegram vulnerability.

one long time Firefox contributor have been for a couple years now removing every part of the --noremote option. even botching (Ooops!) the console notice that the flag was no-op some time ago.

Which Firefox functionality was used in the Telegram vulnerability? Isn’t this all about the desktop app?
