I recently changed from IE to Mozilla. I imported all my bookmarks to Mozilla but can't add new bookmarks to imported bookmarks. Can someone please help me?

I have used IE browser for many years and have collected hundreds of Bookmarks there. I recently changed over to Mozilla browser and imported all my Bookmarks to Mozilla from IE. The problem is whenever I try to add a new Bookmark to the Bookmarks I imported from IE it won't allow me to add new Bookmarks there. It only allows me to add a new Bookmark to Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar, Unsorted Bookmarks, or create a new folder. It doesn't give me an option of adding new Bookmarks to the Bookmarks I imported from IE. I would like to keep all my Bookmarks in order and not have to switch back and forth from new Mozilla Bookmarks and the Bookmarks I imported from IE. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks.

Can you update to firefox 23, the version you have now is outdated and insecure. The article below can help you with that.

Then try to troubleshoot the places.sqlite file.

NOTE: You are using an outdated version of the Firefox program. For the best browsing experience, update to the most recent version.

Please, try the following:

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + B when Firefox is open
  2. In the Bookmark Library, locate the folder containing your imported Internet Explorer bookmarks
  3. Select all of the imported bookmarks and Cut them
  4. Paste them into the Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu or Unsorted Bookmarks folders

Please report back with the results of the above solution.

Thank you for using Mozilla Firefox!
