Under the file menu on Firefox, the command "import" is greyed out; so I cannot get to the step of importing favorites. What do I do?

Another option is to use IE to export your Favorites to an HTML file, and then you can import that using Bookmarks > Organizer.

In IE, use File > Import and Export... (that's the name in IE7, don't have IE8 on this PC)

More info for importing into Firefox: Importing Bookmarks from an HTML File

Any luck?

  • Make sure that you not run Firefox in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode
  • In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
  • You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
