Because of the security problem on Internet Explorer, I downloaded Foxfire and made it my default browser. When I followed the directions to import my favorites from IE, it transferred my bookmarks only as far as the letter G on the alphabetical list of my favorites folders. How do I import the rest of the list? I am on a desktop running Windows 7 (64 bits).

Hi botnana, sometimes for reasons yet to be determined, Firefox stops part way through importing IE favorites. During this process, Firefox is coming though the individual little internet shortcut files in your Windows Favorites folder, and is running into something it can't handle.

The workaround is to use IE's Export feature to create an HTML document of all your Favorites. Firefox then can import that HTML document.

These articles have the steps for the respective browsers:

You can use the Library dialog to move the imported bookmarks up to the main menu level. To open that dialog, you can use:

  • Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks
  • Ctrl+Shift+b

Does it work?

Hi,

Welcome to Firefox! I hope this article will help you to find the rest of the bookmarks (there should be a button that is called 'Show All bookmarks'.

Let me know if you need more help.

Regards, Michelle

Thanks for your reply, Michelle, but it is when I click 'Show All bookmarks' that I run into trouble. I select "From Internet Explorer" and only part of my list appears.

By the way, the IE exploit in the news requires the Flash ActiveX control to be activated in IE. If there are sites you need to use in IE for compatibility reasons, you may be able to disable the Flash ActiveX control in IE's Manage Add-ons dialog as a workaround.

Thank you, jscher2000, for taking the time to share such a clear and thorough explanation. I am afraid to open IE because of the threat, but will give further consideration to your "by the way" post. Right now my sciatica is acting up from sitting too long. I'll get back to you.

Hi botnana, if you don't want to risk using IE on the web, you could disconnect your network connection first before starting it. If it's a wired connection, it's easy, just pull the wire. For a wireless connection, the method will vary depending on how you manage your wireless connections.

jscher2000, I am SO grateful to you for seeing me through this process! Your instructions worked perfectly. I graduated college years before the first PC hit the market. My college had one mainframe computer, used for payroll, student records and the 2 programming courses offered through the math department (I took Fortran). Because of my limited formal training, I am especially appreciative of your clear explanations without a lot of tech jargon. May you be richly blessed for generously giving of your time to share your knowledge and God-given talents with strangers!

Thanks again, botnana
