  1. 1) I Followed the instructions and exported my Firefox bookmarks in HTMLformat from a Windows 10 laptop and saved the file on a thumb drive.
  2. 2) I had installed Firefox on a new Windows 11 laptop.
  3. 3) I followed the instructions and tried to imported the HTML file from the thumb drive into the newly installed Firefox on the new Windows 11 laptop.
  4. 4) I got the message "file is empty" when I pressed open so the import did not work as advertised. I looked at the HTML file on the thumb drive and all my bookmarks were there, so the file was not empty.
  5. 5) What do I do to get the newly installed Firefox on my Windows 11 laptop to read/recognized the HTML file I created and to successfully import my bookmarks?????

Thank You for any help you can give. JKH

If you still have access to the Windows 10 Laptop, you might try going to Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks and click Import and Backup and click Backup and save the bookmarks as a .json file and then import that file into the new Firefox. This is what I've always done. It won't copy the favicons over but it will copy all the bookmarks.

If someone else has worked with importing a HTML Bookmarks file perhaps they can chime in.

Does the file look like a valid HTML file if you open the file in a tab ?

You can copy certain files with Firefox closed to the current profile folder to transfer or recover personal data. Note that best is to avoid copying a full profile folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

If you didn't already, please try copy/pasting the bookmark export file to your Windows 11 Documents folder before importing. The reason for this is just to bypass any possible odd permission issues accessing the external media.
