Hi Red. You’ll need to edit the profiles.ini file to match the profile name you copied over. So instead of copying the files inside the profile, just copy the profile itself. After you copy the profile over, edit the profiles.ini to match. Generally located in: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
If it’s still unclear after you view the profiles.ini file just drop another note. Good luck!

It’s the usual migrating an old FF profile to a new installation and making the old one default. Not clear if I can simply create the new profile and copy the files from the old one into it (I already tried just overwriting the new profile with the old profile files…that doesn’t work.) Maybe a section with a little clarity on how to do this common task would be helpful?

For a long time I have wondered why someone hasn’t really simplified this common task? Perhaps added a Firefox profile migration to the ‘import’ list? Or maybe just provide for adding old profile folders to the current profile folder and having a ‘change default’ option that would search and list all profiles in the profile folder and let the user simply select the one they want to use for default? Don’t know if either method would be hard to do, but it would sure simplify things for us dummies to have an easy way to do this.
