I have many Favorites saved on IE which I have successfully transferred to Firefox. However, I need to also have the User Names and Passwords for these Favorites transferred as well. How can I do that?

You need to open the Bookmarks and History Manager (Library) to see the toolbar with that choice.

If you want the Usernames and Passwords imported to Firefox from IE, simply go to Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Import Data from Another browser > Select "Microsoft Internet Explorer" > Click "Next" > Check what you want to import > Click "Next".

It should automatically import what you need after that.

I've just tried this. There is no 'Import&Backup' option under Bookmarks. Also, surely such a procedure wouldn't be able to access my Norton Vault? SOS please - I'm desperate to make Firefox my default but I have 78 log-in/passwords!

Hello, cor-el. I now have all my bookmarks - thanks - but the passwords didn't transfer, presumably because they're in the Norton Safe
