I was asked if I wanted to bring my Internet Explorer favourites list across when I downloaded Firefox. I said 'Yes' via the checkbox but cannot find the list. Where am I going wrong?

Look for a bookmark folder that is labeled From Internet Explorer.

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
