Importing bookmarks from IE8 - followed instructions, dialogue said import successful, but the item is not added to my Bookmarks menu in Firefox 3.6.12. Any alternative import options out there please?

I have successfully imported bookmarks like this before, and have re-started firefox etc but the additional Internet Explorer bookmarks do not pull through to my Firefox Bookmarks menu.

It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

  • Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
  • Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
