Nightly fails to inherit previously existing Nightly profile #67

Closed tidux closed 4 years ago

tidux commented 6 years ago

The same "me38puq8.default" profile keeps getting recreated and the desired profile ignored even after rsyncing my ~/.mozilla to ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.FirefoxNightly/cache/mozilla. My profiles.ini confirms that it is meant to be the default profile, and is the only profile in that directory after deleting "me38puq8.default" but before recreating it. The profile had previously been in use on Nightly via the Arch Linux firefox-always-nightly AUR package.

I just tested and flatpak run --filesystem=/home org.mozilla.FirefoxNightly does pick up the profile I intended to use. Do I need to do something special to clone a profile?

tidux commented 6 years ago

An rsync -avx of the old profile's content into the new profile's directory under ~/.var/app did not work either. Is this flatpak of Firefox just ignoring profile data now?

rdstr commented 6 years ago

Remove the slash after persistent=.mozilla in the metadata file. Or alternatively you can run the flatpak with --persist=.mozilla

swick commented 6 years ago

Vanishing profiles is kind of a big deal. The trailing slash has been in firefox flatpak so was it a change in flatpak? Should the slash simply be removed? Is this behavior documented?

This trailing slash problem should be fixed with commits c5954e54dcb5cb643ab39b941aa0d54fb8cf3ba8 and cce8c742bf1785fb98eb0fa964adae49b5d63df4
