If I export bookmarks to MS Favorites, will it duplicate the ones I already have listed in my Favorites.
When I installed Firefox I imported my Favorites. Since that time I have been using Firefox as my browser and adding sites to my bookmark. I now find that my Bookmarks have not been posted in my Favorites on my computer. If I export my bookmarks as described on your site, will it duplicate all of the original listings in Favorites?

Firefox stores its bookmarks in a SQLite database file named places.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder. This database allows for multiple copies of bookmarks.

You can only create a full HTML backup that includes all current bookmarks. If you would import this HTML file in IE then you would get a full list of all the bookmarks in the file as favorites. I don't know how IE would behave and would ask to replace the current favorite if one exists because IE threats each favorite as a file on the hard drive and doesn't allow the same name more than once, so you may end up with only one copy.

Thanks for your detail explanation! Sure still seems scary. Would sure like to hear from someone who has actually tried it....successfully!!!
