I set up another user account to start over as my original account keeps crashing my machine. I want to export my Bookmarks form my original account but I can open the account.Is there a way to get to the bookmarks from the administrator account and export to another copy of Firefox? Thanks

You can restore a JSON backup from the not working profile in the current Firefox profile.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders

Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"
You may want to uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.
