IsRelative should equal zero and the path should point to the copy of the old profile like the example below.
This way everything is exactly as it was before.

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=0
Path=C:\WhereEver\Firefox\z0f9kcp5.default

For some reason the FEBE, Firefox Environment Backup Extension, didn't do the trick,
However I transferred the bookmarks OK with "Foxmarks" and the passwords with password exporter.
I can live without transferring the cookies, which will re-establish themselves in time.
Many thanks for the advice.
