Details
Currently the extensions.json
file stored within the profile contains absolute paths to extension XPIs which have been installed within the "path" and "rootURI" keys. This is unfortunate, as it limits the portability of the profile directory (which generally should be able to be renamed & moved between devices).
This is also an issue specifically for a potential future iOS port of Gecko, as the data directory for an iOS app does not have a stable path, meaning that the profile path can change between launches.
