If it's just the bookmarks you need you can export them in one of two
ways from the 'Bookmarks - Manage Bookmarks' option, and import them
similarly.
If there are other configuration items you are keen to keep then you
might want to try:
ls -ltr .mozilla
ls -ltr .mozilla/firefox
As this should reveal any issues with ownership and permissions, and
also show if a new instance (for want of a better word) has been created
alongside the old one that was copied across, to which Firefox/Iceweasel
is defaulting.
