Re-installed linux; Firefox doesn't use my old profile.
I had to reinstall my OS (linuxmint - debian edition - 201403). I left /home intact. After the process, I checked the profile -- nothing was changed. So I ran Firefox. But, my bookmarks didn't load (only the few that come with a new install). It didn't load the preferences either. I tried some tricks to get it to load my profile (i.e. create a new profile and copy the contents, Help>Troubleshooting Information -- Reset). Still no joy. I even tried running in a shell with -P <profile> for both the original and new profiles. Still no bookmarks (or anything from my original profile).
Also, on the Help>Troubleshooting Information page, I click 'open directory' and see my original profile.
What's wrong, and how do I fix it?

Ok, I figured it out. I had Firefox running (to check how to work with profiles). I quit the program, then copied the old profile. Well, I tried copying on a freshly-booted machine -- it worked!
