The template of this meme is that of the man who cheerfully points his hand at a butterfly, asking “Is this a pigeon”?. In this meme, the man has been covered with icons of the applications IntelliJ, VSCode, Chromium and Signal. The butterfly which he points to is overlaid with the caption “.config”. He asks “Is this a trash can?” At the bottom of the image, we see the command du -sh executed on the directories .config/chromium/ and .config/Code, yielding file sizes of 1016M and 83M respectively.

    Firefox saves its config outside of .config/ as well, IIRC. Can’t check now, I have actually put that crappy browser in the trash bin long ago.

      Yes. ~/.mozilla. Its annoying.

      You can fix it with a hack by putting a shell script in your path (before the original firefox) that consist of:

      #!/bin/sh

HOME='/home/engywuck/.local/share/firefox' /usr/bin/firefox

      Call that instead of the original firefox from now on. it will create the “librewolf” folder in ~/.local/share and chuck its junk in there.

      Edit: This bug has been open for TWENTY YEARS.

      Honestly ridiculous.

        Usually the shit-talkers use some fork of FF that would last about 5 minutes if FF ceased to exist.

        Or fucking Brave, the cryptoscam browser.
