  When Firefox is set to zero, then a new profile is created and some of your data (Favorites, history, cookies, passwords, data form) is imported automatically your current profile will be moved on the desktop (old data of Firefox).
  
  You will lose the extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made.

  It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be careful to avoid transporting on the problem.

• HTML not imported favorites.

  I exported a bookmark of IE9 HTML file. After (successfully) import the file in Mozilla8, no bookmarks (or 'IE' directory) are visible. Any ideas?

  "I exported a bookmark of IE9 HTML file."

  You don't get the Internet Explorer folder when doing an IE export and then import the file into Firefox. This file appears only when the "import data from a different browser is used ' or when the function"import data"is used during the initial installation of Firefox.

  When you view the "library" window, in the left column, you should be able to open the folder and all bookmarks in this folder, you should see folders Bookmarks Toolbar and Menu bookmarks with positive points and a folder of bookmarks not sorted. The bookmarks Menu folder is where all IE Favorites.

  Or you could open the sidebar display bookmarks using {Ctrl + B} and then open the Menu folder bookmarks.

  Dbellca82 gave you old Firefox 7 information and earlier versions. The "Import" in the "Library" window feature has been changed in Firefox 8 and is a little different from what has been used before, when there was a separate post of the 'Import' menu on the file menu in the Menu bar.

  2. Click export to a file, and then click Next.
  3. Click to select the Favorites check box, and then click Next.

     Note By default, Internet Explorer creates a Bookmark.htm file in your Documents folder. If you want to use a different name than the file Bookmark.htm, or if you want to store the Favorites exported in a different folder in the Documents folder, specify the new file and the name of the folder.
