You don't have to have profile data in a directory with a name your brain cannot

They're in a subdirectory under ~/.mozilla/
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
It links to another page to explain more selective copying in the first list item
following the first note. Even more detail is provided on
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
key4.db might be the only file you actually need.
