Wow. Finally, after 21 years, #Firefox 147 will support the #FreeDesktop XDG basedir specification to store the config/data/etc. in the standard locations in your home directory on #Linux, for fresh installations: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…
Unfortunately this only applies to clean installs, existing configs are kept in place and not automatically migrated.
