Need help with settings
Attempting to move my Firefox settings from my old HD to my new one, but when I put them in profiles it doesn't use it, and it uses the new settings. When I tried to delete the current new one (keeping a copy just in case) it says something about not being able to load when I try to start Firefox up, any clue as to what I can do to make it use my "old" settings?

You need to copy the profiles.ini file as well or otherwise you need to register that profile by adding that profile to the profiles.ini file.
Easiest to do that is to use the Profile Manager to create new profile and click the Choose Folder button to select that profile.
Sorry to bring this up again, but I just reinstalled Windows and am in the process of moving stuff from my old partition to my new Intel one, was AMD before, but I don't see the profiles.ini (honestly thought I grabbed it before switching,) is there any way I can get it now?
I grabbed the profile folder, and most of it's working except no bookmarks at all, and some links I used to go to are missing (not that big of a deal,) but the PW's for sites are gone too.
You would need to copy the places.sqlite file from a saved profile folder to the current profile folder to the the bookmarks and history.
For saved passwords you need the signons.sqlite and key3.db files.

It didn't work, it's pretty much a brand new Firefox with some of the links I've went to before....0 bookmarks as well. I followed the steps through both of those as well.
I mean...did I do something wrong? I copied the contents of the profile folder (I changed it to show hidden folders, forgot about that when I first posted a few hours ago,) and replaced them all, and like I said, about half my links (maybe less?) show up in my history, but no PW's are saved, and 0 bookmarks.
