Good, but that doesn't help anyone else experiencing the same problem who happens upon this thread. Perhaps if you share the solution, it will shed some light on the precise problem, which isn't real clear to me. I'm guessing that you were worried about losing Bookmarks, but I'm not sure.

you take your old profile folder that is titled default. open it and copy all items in it. find your new profile folder, erase all of the contents in the default folder and paste the old items into it. do all of this with firefox closed.
