Is there a way to reset Firefox with command line switches?

I'm trying to create a package for distributing 7 extensions. I used CCK to create defaults/prefs and distribution/extensions folder containing the prefs .js file and the 7 .xip files. The package does what I have coded with no issues but Firefox isn't enabling any of the extensions.

I have found that if I reset Firefox the extensions are enabled after Firefox restarts, so I'm wondering if there is a way to reset Firefox through command line. Something like firefox.exe -reset or firefox.exe -safe-mode -reset so I don't have to migrate all the profiles...

Please help?

Thanks for the reply ideato. Those are bad news... Could you provide detailed instructions on how to reset Firefox manually so I can write a script to do so?

Click the 3-bar menu button, click help (the question mark), select Troubleshooting Information and in the open about:support page click the Refresh Firefox button.

Or click the clickable button in the next link : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings#w_refresh-firefox

Really i don't known if that helps, for the reason you want in mean !!!

thanks again
