Just installed firefox 3.6.8 today 9/1/10. Can not find my bookmarks from IE 7. I thought they would come over from IE when I install firefox. I am running XP

See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing+favorites+and+other+data+from+Internet+Explorer
Note that your imported bookmarks are in a special bookmarks folder "From Internet Explorer".

Other method to use:

  1. Export IE favorites to HTML file: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#To_export_your_IE_Favorites_to_a_file
  2. Then import HTML file into Firefox: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#Import_from_file
