Do you see all the bookmarks (IE favorites) if you open the HTML file in a Firefox tab via Firefox > New File > Open File?

Sometimes importing can fail if there are too many folders nested.

Monday Nght I can see complete IE9 Favorites HTML list in HTML file on Desktop with Firefox -> New Tab -> Open File.-> Open . In desktop HTML file, there are 37 IE9 folders with no more than nesting 3 deep in any one top folder. These are all correct wrt IE9 favorites.

All top folders + deepest nests are copied to FF ok. Contents random. Copied contents work ok

7 HTML web sites not allocated to IE9 top folders are also copied <- these 7 copy to FF and work ok

Example: First folder in IE9 list has no nesting., IE9 has 4 entries - Firefox has only 2. when either method of copying is used.

BTW - please advise how I can delete whole Bookmark list in Firefox in one keystroke to be able to retry with a clean Bookmark list

I am going to uninstall Firefox and start again with a clean copy and use HTML method only to try to transfer IE( files. I will report result.

BTW, I am in UK on UK time - hence delays in replying - need to sleep sometimes!!!!!

Hi

I uninstalled Firefox. Re installed and loaded IE9 favorites from HTML file.

All seem copied correctly

First time I started by using the "import data from another browser". Partial copied. Then I tried "Import from HTML file" without deleting whatever favorites had been copied. Still partial copied.

All seems well.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder if importing doesn't work properly.
