Uhh, this is my first time writing a Github issue without a template. Apologies if I do something wrong.

My issue is that I am getting the following error while using the impermanence home-manager module:

Error: Error switching

This is the nix code I am using:

home = {
    persistence = {
      "/nix/persist/home/mrhappy200/".directories = [ ".mozilla/firefox/mrhappy200/storage/default/moz-extension+++902af220-979e-4fca-8532-df7913bed3a2^userContextId=4294967295/idb/"];
    };
  };

I believe this is because the filename is too long since impermanence appears to do sanitation to remove special characters. What do I do about this? I don't see a way to change the Systemd unit name without changing the filename which isn't possible because Firefox really wants this one.
