### Is this a feature request or a bug? Bug The error is identical to #1607 …however the cause is quite likely due to the app being installed via snap. ### What is the current behavior? Running `web-ext run` fails due to missing/inaccessible Firefox profile error. ``` web-ext run -p ~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox/lis9gi8g.addons/ -v [program.js][info] Version: 3.1.1 [program.js][debug] Discovering config files.
