How do I import the contents iof Internet Explorer 9 Favorites Bar to the Firefox Bookmarks Bar?
I was able to import the contents of Internet Explorer 9 Favorites to Firefox, but the Favorites Bar contents did did not transfer over to the Firefox Bookmark Bar, nor did it transfer over to the Bookmarks list at all. Is there an automated fix for this? Otherwise, I see no other choice but to enter each Favorites Bar URL one-by-one which will be very time Consuming.

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
