How do I import favorites onto a restored system from a backup that I made on an external hard drive before I had exported the favorites?
I have downloaded Firefox to my laptop, which crashed, and could not be restored by my backup software. All files reside on an external hard drive, including Firefox. I had not exported my favorites prior to the crash. How do I import those favorites from the external hard drive?

Favorites or bookmarks? Firefox can't handle the "favorites" data, you need to restore that data to IE, and then export it in bookmarks.html format which is what Firefox can import.
