Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/118.0
Steps to reproduce:
- I installed Firefox from Flathub
- I ran Firefox
- I created a new profile for "shopping"
- When I started Firefoz with the "shopping" profile
Actual results:
#4 ... I was told that firefox was already running (it was NOT) and that I can't access the profile.
Expected results:
-
I feel that profiles should work as if Firefox is installed (within the Flatpak container).
-
When I started looking, it seemed that "everything" was in a suitable location
-
But access was not possible
-
I attempted to use Flatseal to give more permission to Firefox, that didn't help
- I was left to conclude that permission was not the problem it was either the directory tree overlay or something structural in Firefox about how it chooses to access profiles.
I have removed the Firefoc Flatpak from my PC. I want to have profiles. I do not eed firefox without containers.
