All of my favorites were not copied to Bookmarks. Only favorites A-H show up in my Bookmarks, the rest of them are not there. Why did it not copy all of my Favorites?

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.

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

See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":

Solution too complicated----I just uninstalled FireFox software and returned to using Internet Explorer
