Wiping out for a trojan caused a new firefox with none of my old bookmarks, passwords, or toolbars. I followed the instructions and found the old profiles in my application data, then copied over the information to the new profiles folder, (firefox was closed). Then restarting firefox, nothing was changed. Then I went to organize bookmarks menu and did a restore. That didn't work either.

Which file did you copy to the Firefox Profile Folder ? Did you check that the file has the bookmarks?
