I recently installed Firefox 23.0.1 and made it my default browser. I wanted to synch my bookmarks from my previously installed Internet Explorer 10. So I did the following: 1. Bookmark 2. Show all bookmarks 3. Import and Backup 4. Import Data from another browser I selected bookmarks and most of them were brought over from IE10 to Firefox. However, any new bookmarks that were created within the last 2 months did not carry-over from IE10 to Firefox.

If there are 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.

If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.

  • 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 Bookmarks from HTML

See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":
