Not either of those but I use OpenMediaVault (which is debian based) for file serving, backups and a bunch of docker containers. Does a pretty good job of the basics but nothing beats docker/compose CLI.

6 monthsI just look for the folder with -release on the end
PROFPATH=$(grep 'Path=' $HOME/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini | sed s/^Path=// | grep release)

6 monthsI think this will hit the same problem - the profile folders are named differently every install. While you could theoretically back up the whole folder there are references inside that would break if you used it on different systems

6 monthsFF sync doesn’t cover everything, in particular toolbar setup. There is a user.js file you can create that plugs the gap but this hits the exact problem (picking the right folder) the OP stated
