I see my bookmarks in my Favorites folder but they don't come up when I click on Bookmarks in Firefox browser.
I have all my bookmarks organized in c:/user/xxxxx/favorites on my PC (Vista Basic Home Premium). When I open the Firefox browser and click on Bookmarks on the Menu bar, only a few show up. How can I sync my bookmarks from my Favorites folder to Firefox browser? I searched the web and can't seem to find the solution to my problem.

You import the favourites into Firefox and it sets them up within the Firefox Bookmarks Library. From then on you can organise the bookmarks as you wish. If required it is also possible to sync Firefox bookmarks between another device also running Firefox.
Note Firefox bookmarks are stored in a database file within the Firefox profile. Firefox does not use an HTML favourites file, although it is capable of backing-up favourites as an html File.

Note when HTML bookmarks are imported Firefox adds them to any existing bookmarks. (CARE the ordinary backups overwrite anything that is already existing - always manually backup your bookmarks before doing any restore of bookmarks).
Not exactly what I was looking for but it helped so I'll use this for now. Thank you.
