That was kind of my assumption when I installed the Firefox snap - that it would be somewhat isolated from the rest of my system by the snap "container".
I'm going to do a clean install of 18.04.1 in the near future so I'm not sure how much effort needs to be put into following up on this. Regardless, here are the results from find: brent@brent-desktop:~$ find \! -user brent ./.npm/anonymous-cli-metrics.json ./.config/configstore find: ‘./.config/configstore’: Permission denied ./.gvfs find: ‘./.gvfs’: Permission denied ./.rpmdb ./.rpmdb/Sigmd5 ./.rpmdb/Installtid ./.rpmdb/Group ./.rpmdb/Name ./.rpmdb/Providename ./.rpmdb/__db.001 ./.rpmdb/Conflictname ./.rpmdb/__db.003 ./.rpmdb/Obsoletename ./.rpmdb/Dirnames ./.rpmdb/Packages ./.rpmdb/Basenames ./.rpmdb/Triggername ./.rpmdb/.dbenv.lock ./.rpmdb/__db.002 ./.rpmdb/Requirename ./.rpmdb/Sha1header ./.dbus find: ‘./.dbus’: Permission denied --------------------------------------------------------- Brent Crossland [email protected] On Sat, Nov 10, 2018 at 2:20 PM Paul White <[email protected]> wrote: > As far as I am aware the snap version of Firefox will store settings in > a different area to that of the .deb.
