IE bookmarks (Favorites) use system files for each bookmark and are not compatible with other browsers. Firefox used to use an HTML file for bookmark but now uses a database file (places.sqlite). The HTML file remains the standard means of transferring bookmarks from one browser to another.

Do the bookmarks not work if you click them or do you have other problems with the bookmarks?
Using explorer I can access the bookmarks but not with Firefox I can see them on screen but when i click them the error message "problem loading " appears
