I just reinstalled FF5. I had been having trouble with a toolbar hanging up (AVG I think). After the install I tried to import my bookmarks from IE. However, the "import" command is greyed out. How can I fix this?

That can happen if you are in Private Browsing mode.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
