I imported my favorites from ie and am unable to sort them with folders first and then individuals in alphabetical order

folders and individual are in alphabetic order but mixed together

That's the problem - when I begin to type www. all the pages that I visited in my PREVIOUS PC show up in a drop down list, whether or not I have a CURRENT bookmark for that web address. So even if I don't have a bookmark associated with one of the drop-down suggestions, it still is showing up I'm trying to figure out where that drop-down list resides - must be in some file somewhere. As I mentioned, any CURRENT webpages that I visit show up in the usual history location, and I can delete them no problem. Somewhere along the line when I imported former Internet Explorer bookmarks from my PC it came with this drop-down history list that I can't get rid of. It isn't a real big deal, but is annoying!

I imported my favorites from Internet Explorer but I need to know how to display my "favorites" in the tool bar so I can access and organize them

I imported my favorites from Internet Explorer, but how do I display "favorites" in the tool bar so I can access and organize them?

It did merge them after a fashion, glad I took a backup first even if I did only perhaps create 3 or 4 bookmarks today. So if I have bookmark separators, it's going to figure out which group to put them in (no way). Anyway I thought they would just go down to the bottom of the bookmarks menu like the other method, like when I export and import bookmarks in Firefox where they do go to the end of the Bookmarks Menu folder and would simply delete one folder.
Anyway this would not be typical because I don't want any bookmarks from IE.

After having imported my FAVORITES from IE, how do I bookmark a page and move it into a specific folder?
Since I also use IE, will my FAVORITES still be there?

I want to transfer/sync my "favorites" from Internet Explorer 9 to Fire Fox, which only offers "Bookmarks." How do I import my favorites from Explorer to Firefox?

I was unable to view Comcast videos, only, using IE 9, and a Comcast tech came out to my home to troubleshoot the problem. He could not resolve the issue within IE9 and I am operating from a Lenovo Laptop model type R500. The tech suggested that I use Mozilla Fire Fox for several reasons: 1) Fire Fox provides better security; and 2) it fixed the problem of me not being able to view Comcast videos, which I can not view in Fire Fox but not IE. I can most videos in both browsers, just now Comcast videos in IE. I have used IE for many, many years and have important websites stored in my IE "favorites" feature, but when I transferred usage to Fire Fox only my Bookmarks imported and not my "Favorites." How can I get my "Favorites" easily imported into Fire Fox?

Dear mbrubeck: Thank you for so quickly responding to my question and I was able to import my favorites based on your help -- thank you for your generous spirit of volunteerism to assist me. The only thing that has seemed to have become problematic, is that after I followed the instructions and successfully imported my favorites from IE9 into FF 5.0, the bookmark symbol, formally located on the right upper hand corner of the FF page next to the "home" button has disappeared and I do not know how to make it return, so that I can easily access my bookmarks. Any ideas on how to get that icon to return? Thank you again for your assistance, as I am brand-spanking new user of MFF. Thank you again for your help and if you can help figure this one last quirk, I would be most appreciative. TH

I can't import my favorites from FF on Windows XP hard drive because it can't see the Favorites HTML file.

My old computer was windows XP and I had a second, larger hard drive with Ubuntu on it. My computer crashed because of the motherboard. I had both hard drives moved to a newer computer (motherboard from 2006) and computer could not boot to windows. It's now booted to the Ubuntu drive and I can access my old info on the windows XP drive. I would like to import my favorites from FF on my windows XP drive to my FF on my Ubuntu drive but "import data from another browser" doesn't find anything because it's looking on my Ubunto drive not my windows XP drive. I tried creating an HTML document of my favorites on the windows drive but when trying to import the HTML file of my favorites on Ubuntu, it can't see it...but Dolphin can see the HTML file I created.

Did you use Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML ?
Does the HTML backup have a .html file extension?

Can I import my favorites from Lunascape?

Before I switched to Firefox, I was using Lunascape. I am wondering if there is any way for me to import my favorites list from there to Firefox. I was able to import my favorites from Internet Explorer, however, I'd also like to transfer my favorites from that browser as well.

Look in the File menu for an import / export menu item ''(all the web browsers I have ever used had it there)'' and export your Favorites to a file in HTM or HtML format.
''then in Firefox:''
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

Bought laptop only has Firefox. How to import IE-Favorites from my USB?

Bought a used laptop that only has Firefox Version 3.6.12. How do I import IE-Favorites from my USB stick?

Firefox can't directly import IE Favorites, you need to '''export''' in HTML format and then '''import''' that file into Firefox.
In IE: 
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
''then in Firefox:'' 
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

'import' in file menu isn't highlighted. How do I import my favorites from IE8?

Everything under my file menu is highlighted and usable, except 'import'. I wanted to import my favorites from IE8. Cannot do it unless there is a way to get 'import' functioning.

You export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

I followed the instructions to import my favorites from Explorer, but there is no Explorer file under the Bookmarks tab. How do I get my favorites imported?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

What has this got to do with Java anyway? My crystal ball says export the data from database A and import the results into database B. Without knowing which DBMS you are using, that is just about the best I can do. Google is your friend.

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my email account. When I pull up my contacts it only shows e-mail information and the phone numbers have disappeared. How do I get my old contact list back with the phone numbers?

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my e-mail account. When I try to look at my contact list it is showing everyone I have on those lists and it only shows their email addresses. The phone numbers for my contacts have disappeared and I don't know how to get them back.

Hi macmac57. I don't memorize my numbers anymore, so I know how important it is to have all your contacts on your phone at all times. Did an update occur or a new application download when your contacts disappeared? Have you been backing up your device with your computer? You can try to restore your contacts from your last backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Are you syncing your iPhone between multiple computers? This can sometimes create issues with your contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
If you were already using iCloud to back up your contacts, check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 for some great tips from Apple.
I do hope this has been helpful for you to restore your contacts.

I need to import my favorites from MSN to firefox, how do I do this?

From these complicated instructions it seems that it might be simpler to build a computer from scratch. Is there not a simple way to import MSN favorites to my Firefox browser keeping in mind that not everyone with a personal computer can be considered an "internet geek or guru"???
