Default directories in Firefox 146 and earlier:
* ~/.cache/mozilla # cache files
* ~/.mozilla # config and data
In Firefox 147[1]:
* ~/.cache/mozilla # cache files
* ~/.config/mozilla # config and data
Note that the new location apparently contains the same files as in the
former location (including settings, bookmarks, extensions, etc).
That is, even though the new directory resides in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` /
~/.config, it is not solely used for program configuration as described
in the XDG Base Directory specification[2] and `$XDG_DATA_HOME` /
~/.local/share/mozilla is seemingly not used at all (see also the
discussion in the bug tracker[3]).
Commands used to search and replace:
$ perl -pi -e 's/(.* )(\${HOME}\/\.mozilla)(.*)/$1\${HOME}\/.config\/mozilla$3\n$1$2$3/' \
-- \
etc/inc/*.inc \
etc/profile*/*.profile \
Note: The entries in the following profiles were sorted manually:
* etc/inc/disable-common.inc
* etc/inc/disable-programs.inc
* etc/profile-a-l/keepassxc.profile
* etc/profile-a-l/krunner.profile
* etc/profile-m-z/seamonkey.profile
Relates to #7040.

For simplicity and to make diffs more readable.
Use them in the remaining profiles that have `private-etc` enabled but
are not currently using private-etc groups.
Note: All of the profiles in question were created between 0.9.72 and
0.9.74 (which is when private-etc groups were introduced).
Command used to search for relevant profiles:
$ git grep '^private-etc .*alternatives' -- etc
Misc: The changes were made somewhat manually.
This is a follow-up to #6779.
Relates to #5691#5706#5707#5710#6007#6400.
Changes:
* Improve Firefox D-Bus comment
* Add missing/standardize related comments
* Include allow-bin-sh.inc in relevant profiles
* Use Firefox URL open section in relevant profiles
To match how things are sorted elsewhere, such as with `noblacklist` /
`whitelist` lines (vertically) in profiles and in
ci/check/profiles/sort-disable-programs.sh and src/etc-cleanup/main.c.
This makes the order in `private-etc` always be groups (`@group`), then
uppercase paths, then lowercase paths. Example from
etc/profile-m-z/softmaker-common.profile:
private-etc @tls-ca,SoftMaker,fstab
Note that this does not affect a significant amount of profiles; most
changes are in `private-bin` / `private-lib` lines and in `private-etc`
lines for newer profiles that do not use groups. This is partly due to
commit 5d0822c52 ("private-etc: big profile changes", 2023-02-05)
replacing `X11` with `@x11` in `private-etc` lines and then commit
0f996ea4d ("private-etc: groups modified", 2023-02-05) removing
`Trolltech.conf` from `private-etc` lines and using case-sensitive
sorting in them.
Relates to #5610.
