Manual Installation for Forks rather than hardcoded support #166

I see the issues are full of requests for this fork and that, and I can only imagine how frustrating that is to think about. I installed this on FireDragon, which is a fork of Floorp, which itself is a fork of Firefox. It works perfectly fine, but supporting every popular fork that comes out sounds like a real pain in the ass.

Rather than that, I think it would be much easier for you to add a flag for choosing the install directory yourself, i.e. the forks .mozilla equivalent, in my case ~/.firedragon. I also think it would be helpful to newcomers to add manual install instructions, detailing where about each file should be installed in your .mozilla directory or equivalent.

I think this would help this project to be more accessible than it is currently, without you being hounded to add support to browsers that it already works fine with.
