I can't transfer all of my IE Favorites to Firefox Bookmarks.
During the Firefox installation, I chose the option to transfer IE Favorites into Firefox Bookmarks. But only the first 39 transferred, and the remaining 70 did not. Is there a limit on how many Bookmarks you can have on Firefox? I checked Firefox help articles but couldn't find anything that addresses this problem. Thank you for any help you can give me. :)

I'm not aware of a limit (and if there is, it's way higher than 39), but because Firefox is reading the shortcuts from the Windows Favorites folder on disk, sometimes it glitches, maybe for reasons related to the file name.
As a Plan B, you can use a two-step process of exporting a Firefox-compatible HTML file from IE and then importing that into Firefox. These articles have the steps for the respective browsers:
- Add to, view, and organize favorites - Microsoft Windows Help -- see the "Export and import" section
You can use the Library dialog to move the imported bookmarks up to the main menu level. To open that dialog, you can use:
- Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks
- Ctrl+Shift+b
Does it work?
