I followed suggested guidelines for creating a new profile from a previously backed up profile in a new install of 3.6. Firefox either doesn't accept the profile, (e.g. I get a new profile, startup screen, no bookmarks, etc), or I get an "already running" error. I've also tried changing the profile.ini, without success. Any suggestions?

Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and choose the location of the restored profile as the location of the new profile (Choose Folder).
