Python Firefox Selenium Load Profile

Question

I tried many combinations of Geckodrive,Selenium and Python but i could not achieved to load Firefox profile what i need.It loads the default profile. The lastest code is below and I opened an issue on github Selenium page but there is still no solution.There are some solutions about Java but I am not able to bind it in Python.A temp file created on temp folder which includes profile data and cookies.That mean selenium does not use any profile's cookies and other configurations

Any solutions will be apprecited.

Geckodrive version:0.23 Selenium 3.14 Python 3.7 Firefox 61

from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import FirefoxProfile
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

fp = FirefoxProfile('C:\\Users\\<USER>\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\ji8rbij6.test')
fp.update_preferences()
browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp) 

Thanks in advance

PS. I tried this code block in 3 different computer because of being able to have a problem on my own computer

# Add the following code where you open the browser
