Shut down firefox, rename the current one, copy the old one to the new directory, restart firefox. Make sure you don't delete the old copy just in case it doesn't work properly, you'll still have the copy.
There is a way to do it in the registry where you rename the data store location, but, I have found copying the files a little easier. Make sure firefox is not running when you do it because it caches some of those files and will rewrite them.

yep the thing you are talking about i have found in the old one, not in the new one, even i have already bookmarks in the new folder, i also know the file with the password thing is named like this signonsx (the x will be a number) that file will have the password thing, so i need to copy that one also and put it in the new folder?
