I am reinstalling everything on my laptop after the hard drive was replaced. I have followed Firefox instructions to: Create a new profile Copy files between profiles

My bookmarks, passwords, etc are not available when I open Firefox.

When I follow the troubleshooting insturctions, Firefox >Help >Troubleshooting Information, and click the "Show Folder" button next to Profile Folder, it opens the correct profile with all the content. My personal info (bookmarks, passwords, etc) still is not incorporated into the Firefox home screen.

What am I missing? Please help.
