followed all the instructions to copy files in the profile directory failed

all files named from the old profile are new profile when firefox look any of the bookmarks etc are displayed - what to do now?

"... "'old' files appear in the new profile but are re-created after firefox starts empty.

Sounds like Firefox cannot have been closed completely when the files have been copied, or the copy and replace files with the same name did not. Windows should have asked if you want to replace each old file with the 'copied' version, and that didn't happen to you ignored.

Or you copied the files in the profile \Local Sattings\App Data\ folder and not the profile folder OK \App Data\ - , but that would not have re-created empty files.
