Description
I have configured Firefox with `"firefox.profile": "default-release"`, which is my main profile. I have a bunch of extensions. When I start a debugging session from vscode, all those extensions disappear from the UI bar, although they seem enabled when I go to configuration:
Main firefox:
Copied profile:
And when I go to extensions on that profile, they seem enabled, but they are not. If I toggle them twice, they start appearing:
I use those extensions for easier debugging, so I'd appreciate it a lot if they can be kept when copying the profile.
Note: when the copied Firefox appears, those extension icons appear there for a blink. Then they disappear.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Reproduce the problem by starting a VS Code debugging session with the configured Firefox profile, then trace the profile-copy startup path; done means the copied profile keeps its enabled extensions and their UI icons without requiring a toggle.
