I recently updated to Ubuntu 22.04, and therefore, the default firefox was uninstalled (since I uninstalled snap). Nevertheless, the profiles seem to be present:
reichelt@reichelt-desktop:~$ ls .mozilla/firefox/
'Crash Reports' gaa7jeep.default installs.ini key4.db logins.json 'Pending Pings' profiles.ini
Since I don't use snap, according to the answer to How to install Chromium without snap?, I installed firefox with flatpak by downloading the flapakref and installing using flatpak install org.mozilla.firefox.flatpakref. This is working like a charm, but my history, logins etc. are lost.
Is there any way to import the old profile? Due to a hint of ChatGPT, I tried using the -profile parameter of flatpak by flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -profile /home/reichelt/.mozilla/firefox/gaa7jeep.default/, but this results in Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. It seems like the access right to the profile folder is missing.
Is there a way to fix it, or a general way to reuse the old folder?
