You probably forgot to use the -a flag

cp -a .mozilla/firefox/<profile a> .mozilla/firefox/<profile b>

I would personally use rsync:
rsync -rvu --progress .mozilla/firefox/<profile a>/
.mozilla/firefox/<profile b>

Note, that slashes are very important to rsync, so you really need to
RTFM before using rsync.

Not a POSIX thing, you just need to read the documentation.  --help
would have probably been all that you needed.
