How can I export or import Mozilla Firefox bookmarks that are stored in an old user profile (C:\Documents and Settings) in Windows XP? This old account can't be logged onto any more

How can I export or import Mozilla Firefox bookmarks that are stored in an old user profile (C:\Documents and Settings) in Windows XP? This old account can't be logged onto any more since this laptop has a problem where new local user accounts can't be created.

I am able to browse to this old user profile and take a look at all of the files and folders in the C:\Documents and Settings\oa" old user profile folder.

Where exactly does Mozilla Firefox store the bookmarks (favorites) for each individual Windows user profile?

All of the methods that I have found on the internet about how to export Mozilla Firefox bookmarks (or import Mozilla Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer) involve you having to already be logged on to the particular user account where these bookmarks are stored.

As I mentioned, I am unable to logon to this old user account (I don't even know if it was a local user account or a domain user account) but I am able to browse to and view all of the files and folders.

So, how can I export, import, or simply view all of the Mozilla Firefox bookmarks that exist in this old user profile account?

The operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
