I'm a great believer in keeping salt as simple as possible.
In this case:
```
echo 'user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://www.qubes-os.org; ); ' >>
/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-release/prefs.js :
cmd.run
```
If you *do* want complexity, your 1st try is a non-starter, as you've
discovered.
In the 2nd, I wouldn't use a variable name which is also the name of a
salt module. Nor would I use `ls` and `file.find` together - what's the
point? Otherwise that looks workable.
