I used Firefox on an older laptop running Windows 7. I FINALLY purchased a new desktop - HP with Windows 10. I have all my pictures, etc. on an external hard drive (Seagate). I also copied all my Firefox Bookmarks to a FlashDrive. I have tried copying from both external doing Import and everything offered to copy. I have alot of bookmarks and it would take me forever to open each page and create a new bookmark. I can only get it to copy and it says it's from my D Drive (Flashdrive and External) and opens a list but will not create bookmark in my FF "Star" Bookmarks at the top right of the screen. I need these bookmarks desperately as that is how I pay bills on line, acccess my health info., etc. Can someone please help me? I have tried everything and nothing works!!
