I am trying to import Firefox bookmark data base into Avant browser which takes an HTML format. When I do the export and then attempt to import into Avant, I get "0" items imported. I contacted Avant support and they have looked at your format and have advised me that it is formatted completely wrong.

Can you explain this and give me a remedy...thanks.

Make sure that you export to an HTML file.

I EXPORT HTML from firefox and IMPORT HTML into the Avant Browser. Avant then cannot import the data base. Avant Tech Support have told me that the format of the HTML is wrong and that I should contact the Firefox Forum for support.

I cannot attach the HTML file because of your security. Please help me with this problem...thank you.

Open that HTML file in a text editor program, like Notepad, and copy the first line or two & paste that into the Reply box here. That should be enough of the contents of that file to advise you further.

You can export bookmarks in Avant to an HTML file and compare the two files to see what is different.
