I imported my IE Favorites folders but they are empty. I also tried exporting my IE Favorites to a html file but still did not work.

All of my folders came over but are empty. I also exported my IE Favorites to a html file and then imported them but they also came over empty and there are no favorite links shown that were not in folders. When I look at the html file, I can see all the links.

When you import from an HTML file, a new folder is added to the bookmarks menu named something like "Imported Bookmarks". To move these up to the top level, you can use the Bookmarks Organizer (Library dialog). Call that up using Ctrl+Shift+b. Any luck?

You only get a "From Internet Explorer" bookmarks folder if you use the Import wizard (Import Data from Another Browser).
Otherwise the bookmarks should just be appended at the end of the Bookmarks Menu folder.

It is possible that the file path is too deeply nested if import isn't working.
