[Mozilla Enterprise] Problems with profile reset

When I do an update for FF, I've been trying to do a profile reset just 
to freshen things up.  I was doing it manually (going to about:support) 
and then clicking "Refresh Firefox" but that's a pain.  I saw a post 
here recently that said I can use:
-reset-profile to do this from the command line.

Two things I've noticed:

1)If I run "%programfiles\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" -reset-profile, I 
get the message that it can't find "reset-profile"  But I switch the 
Firefox program folder, it works (well, sort of).

2)If I go to the Firefox program folder and run start /wait firefox.exe 
-reset-profile, it seems to do the reset, but it appears to be creating 
a fresh profile and I look history and bookmarks.

Is this expected behaviour, or is there a bug, or am I doing something 
wrong?

Running FF 66 (but I think it happened in 65 too).
