Hi,

You can try the Import and Export function in the IE File (Alt) menu to export the Favorites to an HTML file and then import it in Firefox via Bookmarks (Alt + B) > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML. Please also see this.

Importing data from other browsers

Importing from Internet Explorer

Im sorry, I cannot figure out how to do the "try the Import and Export function in the IE File (Alt) menu to export the Favorites to an HTML file and then import it in Firefox via Bookmarks (Alt + B) > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML. " part of your reply.

The other link ("also see this") was the same help menu I used to start with that did not solve the problem either.

=( Im at a loss...

If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.

• Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
• Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

Thank you so much, Cor-el, your advice guided me through a successful import finally. Thank you very much for your help!

You're welcome
