AFAIK, Safari, Chrome, and IE are supported by that "wizard"; other browsers I'm not sure of. Which browser do want to import from? Which data do you want to import? Just bookmarks - ?? - Export in HTML format and then Import into Firefox.

Well.....I said I was trying to import from IE......and..... I said Favorites (Bookmarks). I tried html but....nothing is listed. Previously I had Ubuntu with foxfire and I had the IE favorites transferred.....it was a special button to click on near the top of my home page. I had AT&T. Then..... I switched from AT&T to Comcast and I still had the button to click on. Then..... for one reason or another I uninstalled Ubuntu....then.....I reinstalled it. This is when I lost the favorites from IE. From my research.....I understand that upon installation of Ubuntu the Import Wizard should have asked if I wanted to import favs from IE. Well.....that didn't happen.....It never asked that question. Also.....I was running Windows XP with IE. When XP expired...... is when I switched to Ubuntu initially. It worked fine....but..... I think I had the same problem back then and I can't remember how I resolved the problem. Maybe it's just a update that hasn't come thru yet.....I don't know.

I am thoroughly confused as to what you are trying to do.

Since when does Microsoft have a version of IE for Linux? If the browser isn't installed in the same operating system as Firefox, there isn't going to be an "import" function available. You would need to use "export" and then "import" in the HTML format - a feature that was available in any web browser that I have ever used.

At&T and Comcast with a "button" for bookmarks? Sorry, not familiar with that feature, and I was an AT&T Multimedia broadband user from 1999 until their operation was bought out by Comcast around 2002. I don't recall either ISP having a feature to store a users bookmarks / favorites.

OK.....I'll start from the beginning. I have a computer that has Windows XP installed with IE as the browser. My ISP was AT&T. When I was notified that XP was to expire....I found out about Ubuntu which was free. Mozilla's Foxfire browser came with Ubuntu. I installed it. So......as far as I can remember....I had a problem with the Import Wizard back then.....I think. Anyway......somehow I got the favorites from IE transferred. It wasn't a button to click on.....it was just a line near the top of my Home Page that said : IE Favorites. I had to click on it and a drop down line of all my favorites would appear for me to choose which one I needed.

The problem now is that I don't have any idea what so ever on how to transfer my IE favorites from XP over to Ubuntu. I don't have a browser to choose from in the Import Wizard ..... and...... when using the HTML selection.....No files from XP show up.  I had previously moved my IE  Favorites to a HTML file in XP but now what?

The Import Wizard doesn't work across Operating System partitions, if that is what you have going on there.

Are you dual-booting? With WinXP on one partition and Ubuntu on another partition?

Or did you replace WinXP with Ubuntu?

I'm dual-booting. So........The real question is......How did I do it last time. It was set up exactly the same way.....partitioned. Maybe AT&T offered some way of doing the transfer. I just can't remember how it worked but......it did.

Boot into Win XP - then In IE: File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

Save the resulting bookmark.html file to somewhere you have access to it in Ubuntu.

Then re-boot into Ubuntu - then in Firefox Import that bookmark.html like this: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks --> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

Edmeister......First off.....I must say thanks for sticking this out with me and keeping me persistant. This is what I did: First.....I already had gone into the XP partition and exported the favorites to an html file and stored them in My Documents. The problem was: how to get this file to the other partition. So.....I thought.....why not email it to the other partition. Then....I tried to email it but my Yahoo! email was out-dated. Then up pops a page that says : Download FOXFIRE! What happened.....Did Yahoo buy out Foxfire? Or vice-versa? Did they Merge? Whatever it was didn't matter to me. It made perfect sense to download it because it would ask me to create a user name and password which I had already done on the other partition in order to Sync with other devices. So.....I downloaded & installed Foxfire in XP and up pops the Import Wizard asking me if I wanted to transfer favorites...etc over to wherever. BINGO! YES! YES! YES! When finished.....I Shut down XP and went over to the other partition where Ubuntu and Foxfire resided. And.....WALLA! It worked. It wasn't a line of print for me to click on like it was on AT&T's Start Page but it worked. The favorites were loaded into Foxfire's Bookmarks as if they had been there all along. AT&T must have had some way of transferring the favorites back when I originally went through this. So......I Thank You once again for not deserting me. Pass this one on.
