According to the following article I should be able to select this drop down to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer. However, I do not have that option in Firefox. I just installed it on my Win7 pc with IE8.

It should be there. <Control + Shift> H. At the top middle, you should see a button; Import and Backup. The bottom selection is; Import Data From Another Browser. You should now see this list;

Internet Options / Cookies / Browser History / Favorites

Turn each on or off as you want and then press Next. If this does not work, post a message in the text box below and tell us what happen and what you see.

You can open the combined Bookmarks and History Manager.

  • Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks

If there are 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.

If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.

  • 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 Bookmarks from HTML

See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":
