I wouldn't even bother trying to recover a profile but remove and reinstall FireFox to have a fresh start with it. There you would simply create a new default profile. It would be easier and faster since you have already lost the items you had saved along with the boomarks. I'm still trying to backup bookmarks on one installation to use on another. But unlike IE and easily finding the favorites and links folder Mozilla makes sure they are buried deep.
