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:
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites#ie=ie-8 Add to, view, and organize favorites - Microsoft Windows Help] -- see the "Export and import" section
* [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
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?

Hello.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

I have imported from Microsoft Internet Explorer favorites, cookies, history and they are not available after importing under the Bookmarks tab. How do I find the import of favorites in firefox?

When importing from Microsoft Internet Explorer I have successfully completed and clicked on finish. I am not finding my favorites under the Bookmarks tab. I have shut down Firefox and and restarted the browser and still not finding favorites. I also restarted the computer still not finding favorites imported from Microsoft Internet Explorer. How can I find the data imported from Microsoft Internet Explorer?

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

How can I load my MS favorites into Firefox bookmarks

I have a lot of MS Favorites and I don't want to reference each page and bookmark it. Can I do mass copy?

If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML
See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":

I use Firefox to get into Gmail. How do I transfer some things from AOL to Firefox and start a new website within Firefox.. or can't I??? in English

I have an account with That Free Thing and Alert Pay. It's linked to my AOL email. I have just been informed that I should change to Firefox. How do I go about transferring everything? If I already have Gmail connected to Firefox and eventually will disconnect that account, is there a way to connect now? I am very confused as I just don't understand all about the internet and different sites. Maybe one day....???
Do you understand what I am trying to get across? I hope I am explaining it right.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How to make the font sizes larger in the Firefox Bookmarks Library?

The default font size of the entries in my bookmarks menu (displayed when I ask to Show All Bookmarks) is too small for me to read comfortably. How can I permanently increase the font size?
I assume there is a userChrome.css entry to apply. What would it be?

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#places * { font-size:16px !important; }
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

How do I transfer favorites from IE to Firefox?

How do I transfer my favorites list from IE to Firefox. When I installed Firefox it said it had done it automatically but I see no evidence of this.

With respect to these specific items --
''"Add to Favorites" Add to Fav. Bar, Add current tabs to favorites and Organize Favorites. ''
-- you would use the corresponding Firefox commands instead. For more information on where those are in the menus, this article should help: [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-bookmarks How do I use bookmarks? | How to | Firefox Help].

How do I transfer my Favorites from IE to Foxfire

I have a long list of Favorites on my Internet Explorer screen. How do I transfer that list intact to my Foxfire screen? I'm not sure what toolbar my Favorites are in, because it's not labeled anything besides Favorites. Could be Windows, Internet Explorer, Yahoo??? Someone suggested I right click on it
, but I don't know what option to click on next.
I use Vista Home Premium

Over all, awesome though and definitely thanks for the help! Just an idea on how to improve a little. :) Might want to update this help to show how to do it with the new beta. The process is not quite the same and as a complete newbie to firefox and not too tech-savvy I had a little trouble figuring it out but finally stumbled through it.

Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive. This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.
