Firefox has an issue that’s been open for 20 years regarding implementing the XDG Base Directory Specification.
259356 - (xdg-basedir) Support for the Freedesktop.org XDG Base Directory Specification

RESOLVED (lissyx+mozillians) in Core - XPCOM. Last updated 2026-01-14.

Firefox is the biggest offender for me. ~/.mozilla instead of something sane like ~/.config/firefox
Even worse, Thunderbird doesn’t save data in ~/.mozilla/thunderbird, but in ~/.thunderbird.
Imagine others would be same dumb as Mozilla…
One of us needs to go back to school, because I did not understand a word of what you just said
At least Thunderbird configs are stored in ~/.config/.mozilla/thunderbird. Right? Right…?
