but the gobmint isnt allowed to compete with the free market!!! its not fair!!!

or something

I know its antithetical to Flatpak sandboxing, but I genuinely spent hours trying to move a non-Flatpak profile to flatpak and gave up. I gave the Flatpak filesystem permissions and then it would use the usual ~/.firefox folder, even if it says it doesn’t in about:profiles.

I can’t explain why any of this works the way it does but it appears that Firefox is just very confused about profiles when it exists in a Flatpak container.

You speak of developers as if they have no agency.

The Hopoo folk left because they didn’t want to work on RoR anymore.
