Firefox issue(s)
I have imported this FF profile across at least a dozen (probably more) OS and the only issue I have encountered was the default landing page for FF can get cattywhompus. This is my first instance of it just not working, like I had a work around for the lock files (launching would run a script that deleted them and then executed FF) but I couldn't get it to work when a 3rd party app like discord would open a file in browser so I had to make a secondary browser my "default browser".
The real dealbreaker was that evidently not shutting down FF and just logging out would corrupt the whole profile. The behavior is fucky to say the least and I'm willing to put the work to make it work but like you pointed out its a matter of ROI on time invested.
I have tried sync twice now and both times it fails to grab most of the settings for the addons that I am after so it's pointless and I also don't like having to upload personal data into corporate clouds even if it is "encrypted" because I'm relying on that clouds security to prevent my data from being breached at some point.
Regardless, I'm rebuilding the profile lol. Thank you for your help (and patience)

I import because I have userscripts as well as extensions that take a while to setup. It's all good. I'm an outlier here, it's still disappointing but at least it's not something that's going to affect a majority of people.

In retrospect I would say trying to get the import to work has taken much longer. Rebuilding would probably take about an hour and I've invested quite a bit more than that trying to get it to work. I think I'll admit defeat and just rebuild the profile. Thank you for your help, it's a shame it didn't work out. I realize my use case is extremely niche and that most people can/will use the sync feature instead of the manual importing.

Built in microphone not showing up
I doubt it will help but I have been using "Helvum" to manipulate some of the audio settings that I couldn't otherwise figure out (such as getting the mic to work in Helldivers 2 and the audio output in Valheim).
Mind you if your mic isn't showing up it won't be of much use I imagine.

Firefox issue(s)
I checked those folders and don't readily see logs there. I mean I'm sure they are there I just don't see anything readily named log or messages or whatever.
I'm exasperated, this feels like a Linux experience from two decades ago where if you want a simple feature/function to work you have to spend hours working on it and rely on the kindness of others to help figure it out. I mean at least I'm not doing it over IRC so I can come back and review progress but this genuinely feels like two steps back.
I don't expect a Linux experience to be seamless (yet) but using an imported profile from one of the most popular browsers really should not be this difficult. Like how can I in good faith recommend this distro to any of my friends who are considering switching off of the MS ecosystem.

How do I review the logs in bazzite? I checked /var/log but I don't see a messages or syslog file and all the info I can get from the lock file is " lrwxrwxrwx. 1 bazz bazz 13 Jun 13 09:35 lock -> 10.1.1.122:+2: "
Unfortunately changing the flatseal and testing the profile nuked my FF profiles entirely 🎉 so for the time being I am using an alternative browser lol

No I'll read up on it at https://www.debugpoint.com/manage-flatpak-permission-flatseal/ and give it another crack tonight. Other than someone mentioning doing so where would an unfamiliar user know that this would need to be done?

Not quite following. I'm making a new profile in the home directory so in my case the first iteration was called "~/FFprofile" and I fill it with the contents from a zip file that originates from a usb drive.

The lock file problem happens to any profile I make in the home directory and I can't make a profile anywhere other than the home directory whereas the "default" profile is where the flatpak FF is installed.

The process is use the profile manager to make a new profile in the home directory open FF once to make sure it works then close FF. Verify FF closed ie no loose processes running, then copy over existing profile from usb drive to the location created for the "new profile". Open FF and everything works fine and close FF. Only now when you go to open FF again you get a warning that "FF is currently running" that has to be resolved aka the lock files.

Firefox is already running....
Through further testing I discovered after using the profile in the home directory it leaves a lock file in the directory that I have to delete if I want to reopen FF again. Will do some research and see if I can figure out the fix.

What Helldivers 2 settings do you use?
So, while I don't have a 4g option to toggle in my BIOS the suggestion to disable Compatibility Support Module (CSM) seems to have resolved the matter.
After disabling CSM & reinstalling the OS I proceeded to install HD2 (steam) and using the default settings/proton it works "out of the box". Thank you & @asen23 for your time and effort with the explanations & help!

What Helldivers 2 settings do you use?
It's all good, I just reinstalled the OS as I am not too far into it yet and like I said I broke my profile by using the configure display settings so it's really no loss.
On a related note, yeah even with CSM disabled there's no option for 4g so I'm still looking at having to update the bios at some point.

What Helldivers 2 settings do you use?
Thanks for explaining it!
I think I broke my install of Bazzite anyway at this point by disabling the second monitor in the UI so if I have to reinstall it won't be the end of the world.
I'll figure out how to get it to post with CSM disabled then.

What Helldivers 2 settings do you use?
Could you explain this further or share a link where I can learn more?
Disabling CSM results in my PC not even posting. Would I have to disable CSM and then reinstall bazzite? Like with CSM disabled when I save & exit it just goes right back to the BIOS menu after powering on.
Fwiw I am not dual booting so Windows isnt a concern.
