5 years ago @eight04 it sounds like this issue may be a duplicate of #1363, the extensions are not explicitly excluded by the "profile cloning" (the code that copy the profile is actually in the firefox-profile dependency, in particular this part https://github.com/saadtazi/firefox-profile-js/blob/4973491648b2c0994277c64b6abf29ca79219d7e/lib/firefox_profile.js#L163-L191, and it should only exclude the lock files).
do you mind to double-check if there are any suspicious errors in the Browser Console?
There may be some errors logged there that could help us to determine if Firefox is trying to loading the extensions installed in the source profile and it is failing because of the same underlying issue of #1363, or if there is a different kind of issue in this case.

Is this a feature request or a bug?
bug.
What is the current behavior?
testprofile.web-ext run --firefox-profile=test.extensionsfolder in the temporary profile is empty.What is the expected or desired behavior?
The extensions folder should contain the extension that was installed at step 2.
