MacOS 27.0 reset permissions for finicky #552
Description
I just upgraded to MacOS 27.0 Golden Gate. My default browser was still set to finicky but the permissions for finicky to control Chrome were dropped.
No direct error message was shown, my finicky config was just obviously not working.
Re-enabling the permission fixed it.
Just a heads up for anyone upgrading MacOS and thinking finicky is broken which it wasn't

System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access > add Finicky, toggle on, then quit and relaunch Finicky (the entitlement only applies to a fresh process).

This issue seems to be about automation, but it is also related to Finicky reading Firefox's database/profiles.ini to get its profiles. @mormond 's solution works for that as well.
