How can I transfer Firefox profile from One user to another on my pc (win XP)

more options

At work I'm using Firefox as my default browser. In my company the IT administrator installed new system s/w on companys main server and changed the user names. So now firefox lost all the information (profile) I already had on my pc. Now in "C:\Documents and Settings\" folder I have 2 users. One with the old user name and one with the new user name Also I can not any longer login in my pc with the old user name because the administrator has changed also the domain name. How can I transfer the profile I had (with lot's of usefull bookmarks etc) from the old user-name to the new user-name? Thank you in advance! Yannis
