When I replaced my hard drive, the tech reloaded my files in the Admin account , including my book marks. I can access the book marks in that account, but not in my personal users account, which is what I want to do. How do I gain access to the book marks while working in my personal account. Can I copy them into the Firefox book marks file in my personal account? If, so how? I'm using windows 7. Thanks, Jerry'

Export your bookmarks from the Admin account:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Export HTML... - to a USB stick or save to a folder that is accessible bu your other User Account
then Import that file into your Limited User Account:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... - from HTML file - where you saved it
