I have Old Firefox Data folder before i formated my laptop . but i just cant find how to use this folder for my new firefox to regain all the bookmarks i had.
I had some issue with my Firefox (it crashes when i starts), so i format my laptop to factory setting and now i got new Firefox installed and left with this Old Firefox Data folder.
my question is :
Ii understand the profile in my Old Firefox Data contains my Bookmarks and information i previously had before i formatted, i just do not know how to apply this Old Firefox Data to my new Firefox to get what i need.
How do i use Old Firefox Data to restore all my bookmarks and information?

You can move some files from the "Old Firefox Data" folder to the current Firefox profile folder.
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
It is best to only copy what you need and avoid copying the full profile content.
