- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudo in Windows.
- No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Firefox saves its config outside of .config/ as well, IIRC. Can't check now, I have actually put that crappy browser in the trash bin long ago.
I will not take this bait
Yes. ~/.mozilla. Its annoying.
You can fix it with a hack by putting a shell script in your path (before the original firefox) that consist of:
Call that instead of the original firefox from now on. it will create the "librewolf" folder in ~/.local/share and chuck its junk in there.
Edit: This bug has been open for TWENTY YEARS.
Honestly ridiculous.
And what browser are you using?
Usually the shit-talkers use some fork of FF that would last about 5 minutes if FF ceased to exist.
Or fucking Brave, the cryptoscam browser.
For what it is worth the Flatpak version doesn't have this issue
Thats because flatpaks treat each apps directory as their own $HOME so instead of $HOME/.mozilla its $HOME/.var/app/{app_name}/.mozilla
Which is still fantastic dont get me wrong. But Mozilla hasn't stopped hardcoding their Mozilla folder instead of the xdg dirs even throughf firefox issue tracker has had it on there for 20 years
