There's no ~/.mozilla/firefox, only ~/snap/firefox/ but that does not seem to have the profiles:

~/snap/firefox$ find places.sqlite
find: ‘places.sqlite’: No such file or directory

Not sure what this translates to:

$ snap connections firefox
Interface                 Plug                            Slot                             Notes
...

personal-files            firefox:dot-mozilla-firefox     :personal-files                  -
Edit:

find doesn't work as simple, instead use:

~/snap/firefox$ find . -name places.sqlite 
./common/.mozilla/firefox/<ID>.default/places.sqlite

  • for whatever incredible reason, ~/.mozilla/firefox still exists for me, and it is this directory that firefox will use, if I run /snap/firefox/current/usr/lib/firefox/firefox.

I upgraded to 22.04 yesterday and Firefox has imported my profiles from the original directory inside ~/.mozilla/firefox/ into the new directory of ~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox/ this is where they are stored now.

If you navigate to about:profiles it will show your current profile and it's full path.

The personal-files socket grants access to $HOME, see more info here

It is stored in

~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox

    Thanks, also just found out looking at about:profiles (regular settings don't show any paths).
