Firefox only imported 2 folders from my Internet Explorer favorites. I tried manually several times but it continues to only import the same 2 folders. Can I just copy the favorites in explorer and paste onto the correct firefox file? If so, where do I find that file?

ALSO one explorer feature I love to use is the favorite toolbar, how do I add that to firefox?

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":

To enable the favorite toolbar (bookmarks toolbar in Firefox), right click the tab bar and check Bookmarks Toolbar from the drop-down menu.
