I did a clean install of OSX. Then FFv3. I then manually added the bookmarks using the import feature. Then replaced the needed files for my passwords, extensions ... 

This worked. 

I tried it several times with my v2 files and it failed ever time. I do not know if it was a bad extension or combination of both but it is now working.
