I noticed two different gadgets you might need to add: Bookmarks and Google Bookmarks. It's clear from the screen shot that the Google Bookmarks gadget lets you import a file. Not sure about the regular gadget.

igHome has a page on how to import from iGoogle: http://www.ighome.com/profile/ImportIGoogle.aspx
Do you want to import your Firefox bookmarks or your Google bookmarks??
You should check with igHome on whether their service supports importing browser bookmarks.
Let's assume it does. The most common format for interchanging bookmarks between browsers and services is an old HTML format file. This article describes how to create one: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks.
Does that work?
Thanks but I already tried that....yes, igHome does support bookmark transfers but for whatever reason, I am unable to do this.

I have my bookmarks saved in html format but now don't know what to do with them.
OK, I will try these new gadgets. I already added Bookmarks but that does not allow importing of files. I will now try the Google bookmarks. Thanks
Bingo. That worked. Didn't see that choice of bookmark gadget when I was looking. Thanks, for your help.
