Can easily import favorites from IE, but no such luck with moving my AOL favorites to FireFox. Anyone know how? Thanks.

You can use the following link to export the AOL favorites to an HTML file, you can then import that HTML file into Firefox.

Once the AOL favorites have been exported, see importing Bookmarks from an HTML File

Thanks Tony, everything went well until the last step. When I imported the HTML file into FireFox, I have no idea where it went. It's not on the toolbar or the bookmarks sidebar. Any idea where to look?

Found it! It was on the side bar as well as the Bookmarks drop-down menu. The entire import was stored in a folder using the name of one of the folders that I imported. It wasn't obvious among the many bookmark folders I already had on FireFox.

Thanks again...problem solved.
