> Petru, what would regress if we change the root folder to the suggested `/storage/` ? I don't have a good feeling about this `.` there, which I assume means the root of Firefox. If we don't have a good reason for this, then I would suggest to change it to `/storage/`?

`root-path` is actually the root of the device (and from what I can see it's an undocumented option). So it's actually worse than you think.

oh I see, sorry I'm still processing all of this, thanks! The user can still type the folder out in `about:config` even if they don't have access to it but yeah, not really a use case.
