Do I need to be in safe mode?

Is there a console equivalent of all that right clicking?

Is there a way to take ownership of a folder, it's subfolders and all files all at once without manually changing each folders' permissions?

The problem is, I just had to reinstall windows, and my firefox configuration and bookmarks and plugins are all locked in a private folder for a user that doesn't exist anymore.

This is the doing of NTFS permissions. Log in as an administrator and you shouldnt have any issues. Otherwise, try moving the files to a FAT or FAT32 drive (like a USB flash drive) if you can get read permissions.

here's what you have to do to gain privilege:You need XP pro!!!
config panel->folder options-> uncheck the last option in display tab(use simple file sharing )
So go into the documents and settings/ your name
right click it-> properties-> security tab-> advanced settings in lower left
->owner/possessor tab(mines in french)->underline the user you want to gain control with and click "replace owner of folder...."
and you're done!
