I generally back up the whole ~/.mozilla
, and if I restore it after reinstall, everything is as it was. I've not tried isolating only the profile, seems pointlessly complicated.

I mean in the guide given by Firefox about this they said to copy the desired profile only, i guess perhaps it's too late now and i need to re-do my profile?
You're still using the previous user name? ... otherwise problematic.
i think it works too well because it resets Firefox entirely, like it will even remove extension data if i did any modifications to them,
I had the opposite issue a while back, cookies weren't being deleted at all. I had to start over with a fresh profile to fix it.
