Adding waterfox browser to profile-sync-daemon ( PSD )

Adding waterfox browser to profile-sync-daemon

The process is simple:

1. Go to /usr/share/psd/browsers and copy the firefox file into waterfox
# cp /usr/share/psd/browsers/firefox /usr/share/psd/browsers/waterfox

2. Replace the content with the text indicated below or replace the ".mozilla/firefox" instances with ".waterfox"

3. Close all browsers (to be safe)

4. Edit the    $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/psd/psd.conf   file
If the option BROWSERS=  is not commented out, then add waterfox like
BROWSERS="chromium firefox waterfox"

5. Restart the service
# systemctl --user restart psd.service

6. Start waterfox

7. Verify with
# profile-sync-daemon preview

You should see something like

 browser/psname:  waterfox/waterfox
 owner/group id:  username/1001
 sync target:     /home/username/.waterfox/qofr.default
 tmpfs dir:       /run/user/1001/username-waterfox-qofr.default
 profile size:    76M
 overlayfs size:  0
 recovery dirs:   none
