I installed firefox, and transferred my favourties. None of these transferred favourites seem to go where they should.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
Import the HTML file in Firefox 3: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

Go to tour tab bar, making sure your menu tab is active.(this shows file,edit view ect.) Click file & move curser down to import, there it will tell you that you can import favourites as well as other data from microsoft internet explorer. Good luck!

I did import the favorites but every time I click on them it takes me to BBC. What's up with this? How can I fix it?
