John,

The path ' firefox.exe -ProfileManager' indeed brings up the profile window, but I have just the one default profile. Deep within the path I see the default folder which holds the backup folder and 5 backup files from the last 5 days. Since I have the backup folders, I don't know why the bookmarks weren't retrievable following Mozilla's instructions.

So thanks for your step-by-step instructions; I'm going to tackle this later on.
