Firefox HTML Document.

     highlighted the Bookmarks Toolbar, selected  Import bookmarks from HTML, selected the file I wanted
     then 'OPENED'  the file I wanted to use. 

    were displayed on the toolbar, no bookmarks in the Other Bookmarks either. 

    made no sense since I had not visited them on the new laptop. 

HI. I recently purchased a new laptop and have Windows 11 Home (64 bit) installed. I installed the latest version of Firefox (v117). I am attempting to copy the bookmarks from another laptop - same version of Windows and the same version of Firefox. 1. I exported the toolbar bookmarks from old laptop which created an HTML file - file type shows as Firefox HTML Document. 2. On the new laptop I went through the process, Manage bookmarks, highlighted the Bookmarks Toolbar, selected Import bookmarks from HTML, selected the file I wanted then 'OPENED' the file I wanted to use. 3. The process ended very quickly, file was not large. I clicked on the HOME icon and NO bookmarks were displayed on the toolbar, no bookmarks in the Other Bookmarks either. 4. The only change was - all bookmarks from the old laptop were listed under 'Recent bookmarks' which made no sense since I had not visited them on the new laptop. 5. I went through the process twice and I now see duplicate entries in the 'Recent bookmarks', no bookmarks. So, what have I missed or does the export / import process simply not work? I have not tried the backup / restore process since this is the all or nothing approach and I may want to copy a few bookmarks in the future using the export / import process. Does anyone have any ideas since I'm stopped at this point in time. thanks B
