A way to make different versions of Mozilla use same profile

Since Firefox has gone to a snap installation on Ubuntu it has been extremely flaky and unreliable, your tab crashed, can't access this or that library, and basically gets in a state where it's broken until I reboot. It NEVER did this back when it was installed from apt.

So I thought okay to hell with this, I'll just compile from source, only problem I can't get source code for the version installed by snap and it won't let me use an existing profile from a different version.

Now way back when it used to have a way to allow you to do this if you so elected, but that no longer seems to be the case. Can anyone provide a method to get rid of this damned snap package and still be able to use an existing profile?
