Read FAQ's but did not see how I was to proceed to restore the data in the Old FireFox Data folder on my desktop. It should hold all of my bookmarks, passwords and other data that I would like to recover into this new install of FireFox.

Enter in that folder copy all the information, then go to your profile folder, and paste all or see Recovering important data from an old profile.
