Mozilla browser *profiles* (user data) traditionally go in ~/.mozilla (/home/username/.mozilla). On my systems this is Firefox and SeaMonkey. Thunderbird's go in ~/.thunderbird. Mozilla predates other common GUI web browsers by a bunch of years, when users' appdata went in $HOME by convention. Newer browsers, eg $HOME/.config/chromium, have adopted a superceding convention, $HOME/.config/appname/. /usr/lib/appname is where most apps go, main exception being those that inexplicably decide on /opt/ instead. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
