Firefox profile directory doesn't exist? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Found it in about:profiles. The actual directory was in ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/cache/mozilla/firefox. I think the one in my home directory was a leftover from the old apt install.

Yep, I remember now that Flatpak stores its config in .var
