What is the difference/purpose of .mozilla profile vs .cache/profile? I only mess with .mozilla/profile when I move my stuff to a new installation or new profile but should I also be using .cache/profile?
 


There is an interesting article at Archwiki which deals with a lot of this.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox/Profile_on_RAM

My search keywords were

linux .mozilla profile .cache profile

I just use the .mozilla profile, similarly to you, but I might try some of the material from the article some time.

Advise you take a Timeshift snapshot first so you can rollback if need be.
