		shmerl 3 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Firefox 147 Will Support the XDG Base Directory Sp... Not cache files if I understand correctly, they are using $HOME/.cache/mozilla for a long time already. You can exclude $HOME/.config/mozilla from your back up all the same anyway if that causes you some issues. I personally appreciate them not cluttering $HOME with this move. It is better than waiting another 21 years for them to support XDG spec fully by splitting share and config.

And then just not have Firefox backups?

Person above already didn't have them, so not sure what you are asking.
