Can you give more details about this 'move' and why you want to move the profile ?

Is this a move on the same computer or from one device to another device. Do both devices run the same operating systems and moving between different OSs isn't recommended and is best avoided, but instead transfer only selected safe data files.

Dear cor-el. Thank you for helpful answer. "Move" means that I cant transfer full profile preferences between same OS, between different OS and also I cant use add-ons when refering in python using selenium, for exampe: webdriver.FirefoxProfile('./TESTprofile/')

Why not just log into the new OS and let sync do the work? I have 1 profile for XP, 7, 10, and openSUSE.
