Affected versions

  • 94.0a1 MSIX (20210920212918)
  • 93.0b8 MSIX (20210920185952)
  • 92.0b9 MSIX

Affected platforms

  • Windows 10x64 Home S mode
  • Windows 11 x64

Preconditions

  • clean environment required to reproduce. No normal firefox installation.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Firefox 93.0bx MSIX and open it.
  2. Go to about:profiles and click Open Folder for Local Directory.

Expected result

  • Firefox profile folder is opened.

Actual result

  • Location is unavailable error is displayed.

Regression range

  • Not a regression, reproducible with 92.0b9 as well.

Notes

  • Attached a screen recording.
  • Firefox is working as intended. Only the profile path is not right inside about:profiles. Going manually to C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Packages\Mozilla.Firefox.Beta_gmpnhwe7bv608\LocalCache\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\g7k3i1lk.default-beta the profile exists. Also to test it I deleted the google4 folder inside profile-> safebrowsing and clicked on update inside about:url-classifier->google4 and the folder was created as expected.
