Build firefox appimage, can't save bookmark and always showed "Welcome to Firefox" every launch.

Hello, I built firefox appimage for musl-based distro. I'm facing issue when everytime the appimage is launched, the "Welcome to Firefox" tab always appear. The bookmark also won't be saved and disappear after relaunch as it seems write protected. I use alpine linux rootfs archive as base appimage (install firefox from chroot and made appimage from it). Any clue to fix it ? Thanks.

It's strange when I do file-appimage.appimage --appimage-extract and run the firefox from squashroot directory, everything behave normal.

Oh, it has something to do with profile. I just need to use default release profile as default profile. Now saved bookmark, history, works fine.

Note with firefox you also have to set MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER="${APPIMAGE}"

See the AppRun of Zen to have an idea: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/blob/dev/build/AppDir/AppRun

If you use sharun you can avoid having to build for musl systems and just have one AppImage that works on glibc and musl systems (and even distros as old as ubuntu 14.04)

See Cromite for example, you can test it on alpine.
