My favorites folder was copied from an old computer to an external drive. How do I import them into Firefox. The instructions in Firefox Support don't work.
I followed the steps to the this question: All of my bookmarks still exist in \Documents&Settings\Bob\Favorites, but when I re-installed Mozilla Firefox, the Bookmarks option on the Mozilla toolbar does not see them. Can you help me direct the Bookmarks option to the correct location? thanks, Bob
Nothing was imported.

- 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
