Persistent Firefox data

[mascip]

Like I said in my other issue, I use Firefox from docker-desktop, like this:

ssh [email protected] -p 49153 firefox

My problem is the lack of persistence. When I kill the container and restart a new one with the same name, my Firefox profile, bookmakers, etc, are gone.

I've tried to add this argument to 'docker run' :

-v /home/mascip/docker-desktop/firefox-data/$container_name:/home/docker/.mozilla/firefox/

so that Firefox's data would get saved on the host in /home/mascip/docker-desktop/firefox-data/$container_name. But it does work, because volumes mounted with -v are read-only.

Is there a way to achieve what I want? Am I missing something?

We solved it here: https://github.com/paimpozhil/DockerX2go/issues/1

The solution was to create a data-only docker container for the data, with a /home/docker/.mozilla/firefox volume, which contains my Firefox profile. I also had to solve a tiny permission issue.
