I did a new install, I transferred bookmarks, cookies, et.al from MSIE8 as I was asked to do, but my bookmarks are not in the 'Bookmark' drop-down menu, nor are they anywhere else. I cannot find them anywhere.

Did you read:

if you successfully followed those steps you should have the favourites available, as a folder within your bookmarks. You could always try exporting the IE bookmarks, and importing them again into firefox.

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
