My computer crashed, when I restarted it and restarted FF (6.0.12.1739, with google, adobe and similar plugins), I got the "already running" message. I use Windows 7. When I learned to look for the parent lock file, not only was it not there, but my original profile folder to be empty. So I created another profile folder, and now FF works, but I cannot access my old profile folder. When I open the location where it should be, nothing's there. But if I go to profile manager, I see my original profile is still there (and apparently it's where it should be). I tried typing its location in Start, to no avail. I tried making all folders visible, as some sites recommend for people who use Windows, but this did not make my old profile folder visible. Are my bookmarks lost for good? I have restarted the computer several times 'til now.

I forgot to mention that I can't access my old profile, because whenever I click on it, I continue to get the "already running" message. I know that I exit FF when I access profile manager.
