The dialogue box which asks me to select which items to import from Opera is blank, which is NOT helpful.

I have been using Opera for some time and have a LOT of bookmarks. I'm disgusted with Opera, for a number of reasons that I won't go into, here. BUT ... when I try to transfer (Import) the Opera bookmarks into FF, I check the "Opera" box in the first page of the Wizard, it switches to the second, asking me for what features I want to import, the little white field is blank. Not only are there no checkboxes or type, I can't enter any, either. I've tried several workarounds, but it's no go.

For getting your bookmarks from Opera to Firefox:
Export from Opera
File > Import & Export >> Export as HTML

Then Import into Firefox
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = from an HTML file

I am using FF 4.01 and when I click Bookmarks, "Organize Bookmarks" does not appear. The only option I have for importing is that outlined in the original post, File>Import> check Opera>blank screen on which objects to import

In Firefox 4, the Organize Bookmarks menu item was renamed to Show All Bookmarks.
