When you have Firefox started to your old profile:
Bookmarks -> Organize bookmarks ... -> File -> Export -> Save the
bookmarks.html for example to your desktop.

When you have Firefox started to your new profile:
Bookmarks -> Organize bookmarks ... -> File -> Import -> Select the
bookmarks.html for example from your desktop or where ever you happened
to save it.

Alternative is to locate your profile folder and just copy-paste the
file from there.

Also note that it is a _very good idea_ to create backup from the same
bookmarks.html file. So in case your hard drive crashes, you won't lose
your bookmarks for-ever.

You will know how to do this and do this automatically if the default
settings bother you. So no need to worry about this.

It is better that you download the Add-ons again from the internet. From
where ever you downloaded them in the first place. You could also copy
the files directly, but if the problem is related to corrupted Add-on,
you would just copy the problem to your new profile. This is why it is
better to start from scratch.

There are add-ons that can provide you a list of the addons you have
installed. In case you were asking something like a "memo" so you know
what you had installed. Here is one of them (Extension List Dumper):
