I'm trying to import my favorites from IE and the help instructions tell me to go to the file menu and click on import. The import word is not highlighted and I don't know what I not need to do to get it highlighted so I can click on it to continue.

A possible cause is that you run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.

  • You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
  • To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
