I tried following directions to import from IE (I'm running v8) but the FireFox 'File' menu link 'Import' is grayed out and doesn't work. I've already created the HTML file from IE. This is on a Windows Vista PC.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
