Ah, sorry I had misunderstood your report, and I incorrectly assumed the
problem was with the deb->snap transition.

I haven't been notified of other similar issues. Could it be that the
update happened while firefox was running, and it somehow made it crash
and resulted in a corrupt profile, hence the new profile that was
created?

Do you have refresh app awareness¹ enabled?

Title:
  firefox: all bookmarks lost after snap upgrade to 701

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Today Firefox was updated to snap version 701. After that:

  * the toolbar settings are lost
  * all bookmarks are lost

  In my home directory I find:

  .mozilla/firefox/iw40rvsn.default-release-1
  .mozilla/firefox/yr14p2lb.default
  .mozilla/firefox/k2x43jhu.default-release
  .mozilla/firefox/53wtq3js.default-release-2

  Why would the snap create a new profile?

  Best regards

  Heinrich
