Here what I want to check on to see if it can be done:

I want import my favorites/bookmarks from the internet explorer I am using now to Firefox in same order I have them in Internet explorer.

I have imported them in Firefox, but they keep coming in out of order.

Is there a way I can import them in the exact same order I have them in internet explorer

Thanks

If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.

  • Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
  • Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
