I tried everything. How do I recover my IE bookmarks M-Z that weren't transferred to Firefox
Only half (A-L) of my former Internet Explorer favorites (Firefox's Bookmarks) were transferred when I switched from IE to Firefox yesterday. Is there a way to recover M-Z? I have a bunch. Please make the answer as simple as you can because I'm not too tech savvy. Thanks.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
- Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):
File > Import and Export
- Import the HTML file in Firefox:
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML
See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":
When Firefox is reset then a new profile is created and some of your data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and your current profile will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data). You will lose extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you've made.
It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious to avoid carrying over the problem.
