Tried to import IE Favorites and it failed. The 'import' in the file Menu is now grayed out. How to import IE now?

I am running Win 7 Home Premium on a 64-bit computer.
Firefox seems to work fine, except that I don't have my favorites of IE and now no way to import.
I would rather use Firefox as my browser.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in private - browsing using Firefox without saving the story mode (permanent)

  • To view all the history settings, choose: Tools > Options > privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: use the custom settings for the story of
  • Uncheck the box: [] "automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session.

It generally works better if you export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

  • Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML: file > import and export
  • Import HTML file in Firefox: bookmarks > organize bookmarks > import and backup > import HTML: from a file
