How do you import prior Backed-Up Fox Favorities. This involved many short-cuts and contained in multiple sub-folders.

How can I import the whole folder library rather than one short-cut at a time from each folder.

You need to export those IE Favorites in IE to an HTML file because Firefox can't handle them directly.
Then you can import that bookmarks.html file in Firefox.

The favorites shortcuts were not IE but from Firefox. I had a operating system failure. So, after re-installing the operating system, I then had to re-install all applications anew.

After installing Fox 6.0, the problem is my prior use of folders and sub-folders with many favorites shortcuts in each.

It appears that I will need to start anew with creating a folder system in the new firefox application. Then take all of the favorites shortcuts, individually, out of folders and put them in a file in a row, in an antilog fashion. Then try to get Firefox to accept them in some fashion.

I also do not know how to (1) export IE Favorites (2) in IE (3) to an HTML? I am just lost.
