linux: profile location changed? 146 - > 147

If I'm not mistaken, between FF146 and FF147 it appears the location of the profile directory has changed. It was:

   /home/<user>/.mozilla/firefox  

and now is

   /home/<user>/.config/mozilla/firefox

Is that correct?

see screenshot to find your profile.

Did the FF team change the location in 147? compared to 146?

Since 147 Firefox supports the Freedesktop.org XDG Base Directory Specification.

The XDG Base Directory specification lays out where application data files, configuration files, cached assets, and other files and file formats should be positioned within a user's home directory and the XDG environment variables for accessing those locations. To date Firefox has just positioned all files under ~/.mozilla rather than the likes of ~/.config and ~/.local/share.

Do you mean releases prior to 147 ?
