Five months ago, I imported my Firefox bookmarks into Safari. In that time, I have added many bookmarks to many of the bookmark folders in Safari. Now, I am trying to import back into Firefox all of the existing Safari bookmark folders including the added bookmarks. Tried exporting from Safari using File, Export Bookmarks, which does get them into MyDocuments\Safari bookmarks.html, but I am unable to get them into Firefox where they would enable me to uninstall Safari and free up some room on my hard drive. Maybe they are there in Firefox, but need to Find them?

Did you import the HTML file?

  • Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

Bookmarks that you import are usually appended at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder.
If you do not see them there then try to use the search bar to see if they show up.
If that also doesn't show them then it is likely that something went wrong with importing the bookmarks.
Does that file display correctly if you open it via "File > Open File" in a Firefox tab?
