OS - Ubuntu22
Firefox - Default firefox on ubuntu22 (Mozilla Firefox 103.0.1)
Use case -
1. Custom profile folder (named prof1) contains pref.js and chrome folder with custom css file.
2. prof1 is created in -> "/customData/profiles/prof1"
3. The folder "/customData" has full rwx permissions and is owned by $USER (not by root)
Output ->
1. When launching firefox mentioning the profile -> "$ firefox --profile /customData/profiles/prof1"
The browser does not load, but there is an error box saying
Profile Missing
Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
Questions ->
1. Is it possible to load firefox profile from root directory ?
2. If custom profile folder is created in "/home", then it is launching and working perfectly. How is this possible when the permissions and owner is same as the one in "/customData"
