Waterfox 68 uses ~/.mozilla/waterfox for profiles? #947

Is it intentional that Waterfox 68 profiles are located in ~/.mozilla/waterfox and ~/.cache/mozilla/waterfox, instead of in ~/.waterfox and ~/.cache/waterfox like 56.x?

Related: This path difference makes it harder to test an existing profile in v68. I cannot "merge" the two locations simply by making ~/.mozilla/waterfox a symlink to ~/.waterfox. Nor can I just completely quit Waterfox and copy ~/.waterfox to ~/.mozilla/waterfox. If I do this and try to use my existing (v56) profile in v68, none of my WebExtensions show up in about:addons. Whereas if I "create a new profile" in v68, picking the "Choose Folder" button and point it to ~/.waterfox/********.default, my WebExtensions do show up in v68.

Self build from 926c0e5 uses ~/.waterfox and ~/.cache/waterfox again 👍
