What happened?

I use VaraCrypt container with exFat filesystem, waterfox soo slow and js code randommicaly crashes when profile located in exFat. May be it related with symlink 'lock'. exFat not support symlinks

Reproducible?

[ ] I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

Version

What platform are you seeing the problem on?

File structure

/media/veracrypt1/.waterfox (exFat) /home/user/.waterfox (symlink by ln -s /media/veracrypt1/.waterfox)

This could be caused by exFAT not supporting UNIX permissions.
