Transfer the places.sqlite file from your old Firefox profile folder in to your new one. You can find both profile folders at %APPDATA/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles

The places.sqlite file contains your bookmarks, downloading & browsing history. If you wish to transfer your passwords as well, just move over key3.db and logins.json.
