I have followed your instructions, but after importing my bookmarks, they do not show up anywhere

I imported my bookmarks. I have tried restore, backup. Nothing works. I would like to see all my bookmarks along the left side of my screen as I did on XP. Instead, I cannot find them. Period. Very frustrating.

Do you mean imported favorites from IE?

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).

If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:

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

Are you merely looking the sidebar, use (in Windows) Keyboard Ctrl + B

If you have the Firefox button on instead of the menubar you will not be able to use View -> Sidebars -> Bookmarks

(To temporarily turn on the menubar hit the keyboard Alt key)

Bookmarks are also available from

  • Firefox button ->Bookmarks

and by various other methods.
