No .cmd file necessary to start; firefox -P profilename in an object is sufficient. 

Get pmdll-2.12.zip likely from Hobbes. Run this against firefox.exe and it's dll files. Anything in red is missing. Write list
of missing files and I will send them to you.

Have never tried to use a profile from prior version. Always made a new profile and copied over relevant files. It may
function though.
