Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0
Steps to reproduce:
The Linux system was migrated to another hardware. Completely - no changes but hard drives, display drivers.
tar -cpPf - |tar -xpf - -C /newroot
Actual results:
Starting Firefox, the UI arrangements, all privacy settings and most of the custom about:config settings were replaced with Firefox' defaults. Some settings like sync and search engines were although kept. Looking into ~/.mozilla/firefox directory, Firefox seems to work on the same profile that was actually about to be migrated.
Expected results:
Firefox should keep the settings independently from what it thinks the platform it is running on. Under no circumstances should settings be changed just because of hardware changes.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
