Running new mulvad browser in disposable

User Support

The DispVM menu doesn’t work because of the --detach option in the Mullvad desktop file.

Exec=sh -c '"$(dirname "$*")"/Browser/start-mullvad-browser --detach || ([ ! -x "$(dirname "$*")"/Browser/start-mullvad-browser ] && "$(dirname "$*")"/start-mullvad-browser --detach)' dummy %k

--detach  Detach from terminal and run Mullvad Browser in the background.

Note that currently only applications whose main process keeps running until you close the application (i.e. do not start a background process instead) will work.

There is 3 files (last one is handled by register/unregister -app).
