Cannot import bookmarks from IE 8. Box says script can't complete in a do loop. Eventually Firefox says "not responding" and has to be terminated. Using Windows 7 OS.

Try doing it this way.

In IE:
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

then in Firefox:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file
