Importing Bookmarks from Safari - Folders Don't Appear
Hello All:
I want to import my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but strange things are happening.
I go to the File menu, scroll down to "Import From Another Browser" and select "Safari."
I click OK and Firefox works for a while and then says it's done with the import.
However, when I then go to "Manage Bookmarks" in Firefox I can't find any of the folders from Safari!
The weird thing is, those bookmarks are SOMEWHERE in Firefox, because when I search for a particular bookmark which I know was originally in Safari but NOT Firefox (some rather obscure website) IT DOES APPEAR IN THE FIREFOX SEARCH!
I've done this with about 10 websites, so I know they exist somewhere in Firefox.
But none of the folders where they originally resided in Safari seem to appear in Firefox. The only way I seem to be able to access those bookmarks is to go to the Search bar and search for them.
Does anyone have any thoughts about how I can find the folders imported from Safari?
Thanks!

We have seen cases where the bookmarks HTML backup isn't compatible.
You can open the HTML file in TextEdit and remove all FOLDED attributes in the H3 tags (leave the H3 tags): <H3 FOLDED> should be <H3>. Example: <DT><H3 FOLDED>Bookmarks Bar</H3> -> <DT><H3>Bookmarks Bar</H3>
