I am using Firefox (.deb from mozilla, not snap) in ubuntu budgie 26.04. It used ~/.config/mozilla/firefox as its profile root but after I updated to 159.0.1~build1 and clicked on a link in Thunderbird it began to use ~/.mozilla. I closed firefox, renamed that .mozilla directory, and it recreated it. MOZ_LEGACY_HOME is not set, and XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset.
Is it only me? Thanks for your time.
