Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5830

Profile: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/blob/master/etc/profile-m-z/microsoft-edge.profile
Firejail: 0.9.72
OS: Debian 11

When I launch an AppImage of Microsoft Edge, using firejail, it works fine during that session, but doesn't remember bookmarks and saved passwords after closing MS Edge, and then relaunching it. Each time I launch MS Edge, using firejail, it's like I'm launching it for the first time.

I created an AppImage of Microsoft Edge using the following steps:

I installed pkg2appimage, like this:
git clone https://github.com/AppImage/pkg2appimage.git ; cd pkg2appimage ; bash pkg2appimage
I used this recipe to create an Edge.yml file.
I ran pkg2appimage with the Edge.yml file as an argument like this:
./pkg2appimage Edge.yml

This generated an AppImage file that was named:
Microsoft_Edge_(dev)-113.0.1741.1.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage

Then, I launched the AppImage using firejail, like this:
firejail --appimage --profile=/etc/firejail/microsoft-edge.profile /home/userName/AppImages/Microsoft_Edge_\(dev\)-113.0.1741.1.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage"

This worked great, but each time I launch the AppImage, it is like I've done so for the very first time. It doesn't memorize passwords or sustain bookmarks created in previous sessions.

Where are they saved?

This might have been fixed in #5697.

Does it work when building firejail from master?
