Thank you for this!

Also, I'm not sure if this could happen on any other install or it is happening because I'm using scoop to install LibreWolf Portable and the way they symlink persistent stuff interfered with it, but I had to change line 9 like this:

- set "LW_ARGS=\"%LW_PATH%\" -profile=\"%LW_PATH%\Profiles\Default\" \"%%1\""
+ set "LW_ARGS=\"%LW_PATH%\" -profile=\"%~dp0Profiles\Default\" \"%%1\""

Else I'd just get a popup from librewolf yapping about the profile missing when I clicked an URL outside the browser. Before I changed this line, the ...\LibreWolfURL\shell\open\command (Default) string -profile= argument ended like "...\librewolf.exe\Profiles\Default"
