After using the import feature to imports bookmarks from IE it completes but bookmarks are no where to be found in Firefox. Why? Also, when opening new pages the pages load fine but do not keep the zoom custom settings. Why? Thank you for any help you can provide...Bryan

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
