I've copied my profile to a new PC, but the bookmarks still don't appear on the new PC. What am I doing wrong?

I've followed the instructions on how to locate, backup, and install my profile on a new Windows 7 OS laptop. I closed Firefox and then re-launched Firefox. I checked the Bookmarks pull down menu and the copied information isn't coming up. Only the original Bookmark info is showing.

Did you copy the full profile folder or only specific files to the current Firefox Profile Folder ?
