Thanks. I did that but keep getting 

Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) nslProfileInternal.currentProfile

.. when trying to open either of my two old profiles. However I can set up a new profile.

The point of the exercise being to transfer bookmarks, it does not serve any purpose.

Googling by the error msg, I gather the problem lies in permissions. I have used a working 
mozilla profile as a model, but still keep getting the msg. 

Can you see any perms errors in the list below ?
