I went through the steps as directed, and got a dialog box that said they were imported. When i click on the bookmarks button I get a folder titled from internet explorer. When I put the cursor over the folder it opens another box with one of my favorites on first line and the name of my computer on the next. The favorite opens, when I put my cursor over the line for my computer it says empty.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.

  • Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):
    File > Import and Export
  • Import the HTML file in Firefox:
    Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":
