Supposedly that is the path to my Firefox profile directory. But when I click "Open Directory", nothing happens.

When I access that file path, the directory (k45qdkms.default-release) does not exist.

Migrating my laptop to Ubuntu and literally just ran into this with Thunderbird- the profile is in the Snap directory instead of the parent home folder like the docs say.

This may have to do with Snap's security model. Snap gets a lot of hate but it's important to remember that Snap apps have the advantage of being properly sandboxed to modern standards.
