OpenSUSE: Opened regular FF profile in nightly by mistake, now regular FF is too old, (v68), and cannot run the profile as it would "corrupt bookmarks" etc..
I am running OpenSUSE tumbleweed. I opened my main firefox profile in nightly by mistake. I have tried to copy the profile folder to a new one designed for regular firefox, but it still says it is too old. It is v68, so I don't think that is true.

Try to copy only database files and not a full profile folder.
You can copy files like these with Firefox closed to the current profile folder to recover specific data.
- bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
- bookmark backups: compressed .jsonlz4 JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
- cookies.sqlite for the Cookies
- formhistory.sqlite for saved autocomplete Form Data
- logins.json (passwords) and key4.db (58+) or key3.db (57 and older) (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
if you only have key3.db then make sure to remove an existing key4.db - cert9.db (58+) or cert8.db (57 and older) for (intermediate) certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
if you only have cert8.db then make sure to remove an existing cert9.db - persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
- permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other website specific data (Site Preferences)
- sessionstore.jsonlz4 for open tabs and pinned tabs (see also the sessionstore-backups folder)
