This is wrong. I run Bazzite and have transfered my FF profile over without issue. The Ublue "distros" just use the FF flatpak. You can follow the same instructions as you would on any other distro to move your FF profile with the flatpak version.
I haven't had any problems with Bazzite, either, save for figuring out how to install Private Internet Access's client, but that's not immutable distros' fault. The fault lies with PIA for not packaging their client in a sane way.
I couldn't find jack shit, other than posts where people were saying that it sits within the immutable part of the distro and the profile manager just opened some temporary profile folder, with the permanent path being invalid / nonexistent. If that information is wrong then they should work at least on their documentation, which I checked for FF profiles and could find 0 entries.
