Well Firefox uses a random name for the profile folder. You can change that of course via %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini. This is what I use for mine...

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=X
IsRelative=0
Path=D:\Programs\Firefox\Profile

If you do something like that, you will have both folder locations. You can then have your Favorites and bookmarks.html copied over during guirunonce.

If you need me to explain this in detail, let me know.

You may also want to consider what I do. I move Firefox and my Favorites folder to a non-OS drive. Anytime I reinstall, I don't need to worry about redoing my Firefox or my IE Favorites.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]

"Favorites"=

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]
