Since firefox did not start reliably from KDE launcher anymore, i tried to re-install firefox snap.

Removing it failed with an error message like

device busy /home/hcw/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox/amzdl79u.default-1400438410240/storage

Trying to re-install failed since it is still installed.

after snap enable firefox, my profile is gone.
No backup in /var/lib/snapd/snapshots/ (maybe because the backup failed due to the above error).

So my firefox profile is gone. I hate that. Pls fix this.

Dont remove my profile data (my firefox profile) when removing a snap!

The profile data should live in the home folder, but as it sounds, it is stored elsewhere (under snap) and so i dont have a backup of that data!
