Can't find option to import bookmarks in Firefox 7

I want to import my bookmarks from Internet Explorer. Firefox Help says that there is an option called "Import" under the "File" drop-down menu. This command does not show up in my newly-installed FF 7.0b2. I also picked "Import my bookmarks" during the installation, but this did not happen. I was previously running Internet Explorer v 9

Had trouble finding it too but found it here: Firefox tab, Bookmarks, show all bookmarks, then theres a tab at the top that says import and backup.

Be sure that the "Favorites" were not already imported. There will be a special folder in your Bookmarks titled "From Internet Explorer". See at end of article below.

If not, see the article below; read step 1 carefully to access the "Import" function.
