The Linux path did not take into consideration Firefox Developer edition which uses the format qbtxwtsi.dev-edition-default rather than qbtxwtsi.default-release like the standard version.

On Fedora the path for Firefox installed from dnf package manager was observed to be /home/user/.config/mozilla/firefox/profile/ which was not accounted for.

Only normal users were covered by the globs and I validated that both Chromium and Firefox browsers can run as the root user and I have observed this behaviour on real life cases as well so makes sense to cover these like the SYSTEM user in Windows for example.

I also noticed that on #53 the PlaceID change was not made to the Firefox_HistoryLegacy.yaml file so I replicated the changes over so that everything is mirrored.

These were quick things I noticed that should improve the coverage a bit. Will be doing more deeper research over time.
