I copied my bookmarks from Favorites folder on old computer and pasted them into the same folder, same drive, and they do not appear in the Bookmarks pulldown inside Firefox. Can you help me?
I copied them to a new computer (not clear from my question).

Firefox doesn't use the IE Favorites folder.
Firefox stores the bookmarks in the Firefox Profile Folder

If you no longer have access to that old computer then you can try to import the IE favorites or export the IE favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
There is no file structure named "profiles" anywhere in the latest version--I downloaded the latest version yesterday. Is there some other hint that you feel might help me?
After using the %APPDATA% search function I found the profiles folder, loaded in the old bookmarks and restarted my machine only to find that the bookmarks still do not show up in the Bookmarks pulldown in Firefox. HELP?????
Firefox can't use the IE Favorites directly.
Did you try to export the IE Favorites in IE to an HTML file, if you see them there?
