Where does Firefox (Snap) store the profiles?

There's no ~/.mozilla/firefox, only ~/snap/firefox/ but that does not seem to have the profiles:

~/snap/firefox$ find places.sqlite

find: ‘places.sqlite’: No such file or directory

Not sure what this translates to:

$ snap connections firefox

Interface                 Plug                            Slot                             Notes

...



personal-files            firefox:dot-mozilla-firefox     :personal-files                  -

Edit:

find doesn't work as simple, instead use:

~/snap/firefox$ find . -name places.sqlite 

./common/.mozilla/firefox/<ID>.default/places.sqlite

I upgraded to 22.04 yesterday and Firefox has imported my profiles from the original directory inside ~/.mozilla/firefox/ into the new directory of ~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox/ this is where they are stored now.

If you navigate to about:profiles it will show your current profile and it's full path.

The personal-files socket grants access to $HOME, see more info here
