Internet Explorer was used previously and when I began using Firefox my "favorite" sites automatically transferred to Firefox; however, the address for all of them was to a European news site. I deleted all of my saved bookmarks and found that when I saved the sites located using Firefox to the bookmarks, the address were saved correctly. I would like very much to have access (using Firefox) to the saved "favorite" sites saved to Explorer. Can you help me do this? Thank you.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

If you have 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. That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.

  • 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 HTML: From File
