Make sure that you are not running Firefox in permanent Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.

  • You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
  • To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

Check if any Downloads are in progress. Wait for them to complete or cancel the downloads.

I do not have in Firefox under the drop down menu FILE the import command.

So, I am up an alley and without a proper solution.

Finally, I found the right menu in bookmarks to import the bookmarks from Safari into Firefox. I have one last problem and it stems from the opening of Firefox and I always get this dialog box that does not go away unless I click on the X button. I have added a print screen (grab in Apple) to this reply.

I have finally resolved all my issues, thanks to mha007 and co-rel.

I hope that I can help someone in the future with their issues.

Firefox is a great browser and they have created the right culture around it.

Thank you all!
