How can you transfer favorites among users. My original user no longer works?
I had to create another profile.

Firefox made regular bookmark backups, so that you can restore the backup from your old profile to the new. Although, I suppose that the user is unable to connect, you always have access to its files.

First of all, make sure that Windows allows you to see the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps if necessary: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

Then, down the old profile and copy out a few last backups to a more convenient location. You'll look here:

C:\Users\oldusername\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\semi-random-name\bookmarkbackups

File names include a data and County bookmark as well as random characters. I suggest you copy the last two at your new desktop or documents folder.

In Firefox, you can restore the backup file by following the steps in this article: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Use the option "Choose file" to find backups in your office or documents, as appropriate.

Note: You could bookmark that something already in Firefox, but those that are not merged, they are replaced, so if they are essential, you can export your current bookmarks to HTML format, which can be imported from non-destructively after restoring. See:

Success?

And if it is interesting to find other old data: recovery of data from an old profile
