Have you tried copying the files in that "Old Firefox Data folder into the currently active Profile folder?

Aurora isn't Firefox, yet.

Aurora is a 2nd stage Alpha version of what will become Firefox in 6 to 12 weeks.

If you aren't up to testing Alpha level software, which is updated almost daily, don't use Aurora!
