Bookmarks did not transfer from Internet Explorer. Cookies?
When installing Firefox I chose the option to import bookmarks, cookies, history, settings from Explorer. I noticed that there was a glitch while this part of the installation was going on and sure enough, my bookmarks were not there when Firefox finished installing. I decided to try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. Still no bookmarks. I guess I can import them, but what about cookies. I'll be in trouble if none of my cookies are there either.

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

You can find the Import menu entry in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
- Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser
