We have decided to move to using only Firefox and have version 4.0.1, running Windows 7-64 bit, and the instructions on the help for Firefox does not give the instruction on how to save IE favorites from a file into Firefox. It only give you the option to import the favorites directly. Is there another way to import a favorites file into Firefox? I have looked in all the menu options and can not find a way.
