- just follow the added file
local-building-example.md - you can use the helper utility

- The backup copy user.js.txt is in the folder /headless/.mozilla/firefox, so the default profile can be safely deleted.
- In the images with Firefox is the non-root VNC user (headless:headless by default) the owner of the most folders created in his home folder /headless.
- File permissions have been sorted-out.
