Hmm. Two other questions come to mind, based on my hazy memories of sticking points on my system.

1. Can you find the folder in question inside `flatpak run --command=bash org.mozilla.firefox`? Some paths, such as `/usr` get overlayed by the Flatpak runtime system and whitelisting them gets ignored. (Something I learned while trying to get integration to work between Flatpak'd Blender and PPA'd MakeHuman. MakeHuman's hot reload protocol assumes that Blender will have the same view of `/usr/share/makehuman-community/data` that it does.
2. Do any of the paths contain symlinks? (I can't remember whether Flatpak had this problem, but Firejail's whitelist directives fail pretty silently if you've done something like symlinking `/srv` to `/mnt/Seagate_10TB/srv` or `~/.PlayOnLinux` to `/mnt/Seagate_10TB/tier3/PlayOnLinux` and didn't remember to whitelist the resolved version too.)
