When I ran Firefox 6.0.1 for the first time, after downloading and installing it, it asked me if I wanted to import my Bookmarks from Safari, and I answered "Yes" (I thought). However, none of my Safari bookmarks are in the Bookmarks menu in Firefox (or I can't find them).

Can I have Firefox try to import them again? How do I do that?

I just discovered how to ask to Import Bookmarks. If you select "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmarks menu, a Library window opens up.

That window has a "Star" button/drop-down menu (tool tip= Import and backup your bookmarks). Press the button and select "Import HTML..." from the drop-down menu.

Click the "Safari" radio-button, then Continue in the "Import Settings and Data" dialog-box that appears (I was NOT running Safari when I did this, but it might work anyway). A "From Safari" folder of Bookmarks should appear.
