Converted my outlook address book to a csv file, but when I import it into firefox the entries are not the same as the file. names and email addresses are no longer matched. I have about 1800 addresses and do not want to manually enter these again.

I suggest you examine the CSV for poorly encoded strings like Mike,McEvoy which can turn nicely formatted CSV files into a mess because if the stay commas.

You might try opening the file in LibreOffice's calc and seeing it there are stray commas in what imports. I do not recommend using Excel as it makes a total hash of Unicode text. Requiring extra steps to import the data and export it again in a format other unicode programs can read. Sad really. But the demise of excel may be in it's inability to cope with unicode.
