Supposedly that is the path to my Firefox profile directory. But when I click “Open Directory”, nothing happens.

When I access that file path, the directory (k45qdkms.default-release) does not exist.

    When I open profiles.ini the only profile mentioned there is “default-esr”. That directory exists, and has a bunch of stuff in it, but I don’t see the profile in the profile manager.

    The profile I’m using is called “default-release” and that directory does not exist, but does have an entry in the profile manager.

    The directory “default” exists in the directory structure and in the profile manager, but the directory is almost empty. It has only one thing in it; a file called times.json.

    I created a new profile, and it doesn’t show up in the directory structure either. Curiouser and curiouser…

    PS: It’s not a Snap, but it is a Flatpak.

      So check Flatpak’s config directory for it. Flatpak works on the same principle as Snap so it’s probably hiding there. Also check about:profiles in Firefox itself, that should say where it is.

        Found it in about:profiles. The actual directory was in ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/cache/mozilla/firefox. I think the one in my home directory was a leftover from the old apt install.
