Super well, I've moved the same profile between Windows, Mac and Linux with no issues.
Never managed to do the same with Chrome.

Ditto. Extensions and what not all magically follow along too, it's nice.
I've done it a few times without any issues on windows, I can't imagine it would be any different on linux/osx
I’ve been carrying the same profile back and forth between Linux and windows for probably 15 years. Just copy the whole directory over. You can start Firefox with I think —profile manager and point your profile to the new folder.
You need to copy the whole .mozilla directory or edit the profiles.ini accordingly
