Move Firefox Profile

How/Where can I move a profile I saved from my previous OS install so Firefox takes it. I have tried putting and renaming it in the folder listed under about:profiles, but it does not appear to use it.
Solution:
/home/[USERNAME]/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/firefox/

It's the flatpak? It uses the .var folder

it is whichever comes with the install of bazite so I would assume the flatpak that did it, thanks!

This did not work for me also it seems like this version of firefox saves less things in the profile itself given I installed an addon and added a bookmark and they both are not in the profile folder
