There is an answer in the comment to the original bug:

> there is no migration path supported at this point: only new profiles are expected to use the new setup. Migrating manually is at your own risk, make a backup before.

I'll try to do it manually, replacing paths in the couple of files mentioned above first.

I hate to say it, but if there's no migration path, this improvement may not have been the best use of Mozilla's resources. Because who's creating new Firefox accounts in 2025? I mean I guess the folder will be in the right place the next time I do a fresh install, but I'd rather see them investing in stuff that grows their user base.

Better something simple than nothing. I'm glad they didn't use it as an excuse not to do it at all. I've seen this happening with other projects.
