Hi, So my old laptop died, and I saved my favorites from internet explorer as a Favorites folder (I took the harddrive out of my old laptop and dragged everything onto an external harddrive). I now have a new laptop and am trying to pull in all my favorites into Mozilla. I have already looked at all the help files on here, but it looks like they are only for importing .html files? I was looking at my saved favorites and it seems they are all saved as .url files. Any advice on how to get these into Firefox? I really really don't want to have to re-bookmark EVERYTHING.

Thanks!

Firefox can handle its' own json and sqlite format for bookmarks/places, and it can handle the universal bookmarks.html interchange format, but it can't deal with the Favorites .url format - that's unique to IE and its' clones. Get that folder of .url files back into Internet Explorer and then export that data as an HTML file.

In IE:
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

then in Firefox:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

I can't figure out how to do that either.. I know this isn't an IE forum, but if you have any insight on that let me know. I'm facing the same issue with IE, too. It wants .html files.

You need to drop the .url files into the Favorites folder. I don't use Win7 so I don't know the exact location, but roughly this is the location. \roaming\user\Favorites\

That is probably:

  • C:\Users\<user>\Favorites
