First time user: I can't find the favorites tab/button with my imported favs

Downloaded firefox today. I imported my favorites from internet explorer 9. I can't find my favorites. Is there a button/tab/list that I'm not seeing? I want to be able to go to a list of favorite sites as I did in e9 and not type in a website every time I want to go there.

Is this what bookmarks are for? I'm not very computer savvy.

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).

If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:

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