want to import favorites from IE. Click file, and import is dimmed. Cant use it when dimmed. Other way to import them ?
Following instructions from Fierfox to import favorites from IE to bookmarks in firefox. Instructions say in Firefox, click on "file", then "import". But "import" is dimmed and unable to use. Is there another way to import?

- Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode
- In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
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
