On IE my bookmarks where stored on 2 places, I've used always the one on the right side of my pag. because this was the complete list. And this one is completely gone and because of the warnings on the TV this morning I've allready ( yes stupid )removed IE.

There seems to be a problem with importing bookmarks from IE when there are many layers of folders - folders within a folder within a folder, and so on.

Doing an "export" from IE and then "importing" that file into Firefox gets around that limitation.

In IE:
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

then in Firefox:
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file
