## Technical Discussion
The solution does a bind mount from `~/.mozilla/firefox_$FQDN` to `~/.mozilla/firefox` (and ensures that both directories exist). As normal user without special admin privileges it is not possible to do a normal bind mount. The alternative used here is `bindfs`, a tool implementing bind mounts as user space tool (FUSE) and runs without special privileges. By default `bindfs` is not available, but I will make it soon to be installed everywhere with by Puppet.

One can install both the RHEL 7 and the RHEL 8 solution at the same time, they are tolerant to each other.
