When I downloaded Firefox, it did not copy my Favorites List from Internet Explorer

When I downloaded Firefox, it did not copy my Favorites Bar from Internet Explorer. If it did, I don't know where to find it on Firefox. Can you help?

Look for a folder named '''from Internet Explorer''' in your bookmarks.

  • When downloading Firefox it did not transfer my favorities, how do I get them of Firefox?

    When I downloaded Firefox, my favorites did not transfer for Internet Explorer. I would like to have them on Firefox.

    Google and Bing are '''Search engines''', where Firefox and IE are '''''web browsers'''''. To the right of the Location bar, where web addresses are typed, is the Search bar. Selecting a Search engine to use in the Search bar only controls the Search bar.
    It sounds like your problem is with MSN being your '''Homepage''' and you want to change it to something else. See this support article: <br />

  • Favorites exported from Internet Explorer are not available in Bookmarks drop down list as they should.

    Favorites exported from Internet Explorer are not available in Bookmarks drop down list as they should. Where can I find them?

    You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize 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<br />
    Import the HTML file in Firefox 3: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • Why does firefox only transfer one of my favourite folders from Internet Explorer and that one is empty

    I have downloaded and installed the latest version of firefox and when asked if I wanted to transfer my stuff from Internet explorer I did so but firefox only transferred one favorite folder and that was empty. I have even tried to do this from the firefox toolbar with the same result

    Not sure what happened there, but you could try the alternate method.
    This involves three steps:
    # export your favorites from IE to an HTML-format file
    # import that HTML-format into Firefox bookmarks
    # move the imported favorites/bookmarks from the import folder to the desired location on the menu
    Links for reference:
    * IE: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Import-or-export-favorites-in-Internet-Explorer Import or export favorites in Internet Explorer]
    * Firefox: [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
    * Bookmarks Organizer: [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
    Any luck?

  • Browsing history is set to "delete on exit" from Firefox however cookies and history are still listed in Internet Explorer - which I never use. Why??

    Firefox is set to delete browsing history on exit. Appears to be working fine. However, if I open Internet Explorer - after closing Firefox - my cookies and history are listed in Internet Explorer. I have to go to Tools >Options> Internet History and delete everything manually. (Internet Explorer is also set to delete history on exit.
    Why are my cookies and history being transferred from Firefox to Internet Explorer?

    Thanks cor-el for the reply.
    Do not have any MS plugins that I'm aware of. No Silverlight,etc.
    How can I tell if Windows Media player is plugged in to FF?
    No IE View or IE tab.
    Not a major problem because I can go in and delete manually--minor hassle.
    Have had the same problem across several FF updates. Just curious why this is happening.

  • How do I get the imported favorites to appear as normal and not in a subfolder called "From Internet Explorer"?

    I successfully imported my favorites/bookmarks from IE to Firefox but they show up as a subfolder called "From Internet Explorer". Since I live on the computer 8 - 12 hours a day using my favorites that's additional clicks standing in the way of getting where I want to be...thus I keep going back to IE even though it doesn't work as well as Firefox....

    You can drag them out of that folder (or use Cut & Paste) in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) to a more convenient position.

  • When I try to open up firefox it just starts blinking like mad, then say's firfox is already running when it's not. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it did not work. I can open internet explorer

    when I start Firefox, it just blinks like crazy and won't do anything. I have gotten a message reading that Firefox is already running. internet explorer still is working
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a few days ago. Can't remember if it started before or after I deleted macafee and added norton or not

    I have this problem too: when I have used and shut down FF and then try to start it again, I get the message that FF is still running, while it's not. Using Windows task manager, I can see that the process is in fact still running. In order to startup startup FF again, I have to end this process manually. This problem is really annoying since I open and close FF several times a day. I run Windows 7.

  • When i download firefox it will not launch what is the problem

    after downloading foxfire it will not launch,there is no icon or anything.Whats wrong

    Is the installer not launching for you ?
    Uninstall the previous version (without removing your customizations) before installing the new version.
    If it is installed try using safe mode http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode

  • I just downloaded firefox but did not see anywhere I needed to register to login anywhere unless I missed a step.

    Did you have a question or issue with Firefox we can answer?

  • Firefox crashed while automatically downloadingthe latest version, and when I reopened it, it did not give me the option of restoring my lost tabs. Is there any way to recover them now?

    I don't know what more details to offer. The browser crashed, all my open tabs were lost, and when I restarted Firefox, it did not give me the option of restoring the tabs. I really want them back. Is there any way to roll back and recover them?

    That gripes me to no end, as well. You might think Mozilla could think this one through, at least to the point of realizing there should be a manual means to recover open tabs NOT restored automatically after a routine FireFox crash.
    And if Mozilla cannot stabilize FireFox, it will keep losing users back to IE.
    The epidemic of crashes seemed to begin when FireFox "improved" itself with the idea of running 3rd party plugins in a "container", which is still far from reliable. I must run SysInternals Process Explorer at least once per Windows session to keep FireFox from destroying itself.
    Aside from FireFox being so unstable, Mozilla should show some concern for users and make the manual restore option very plain from the UI-- such as "RESTORE OPEN TABS LOST SINCE THE LAST (*&&!!! FIREFOX CRASH"
    Presumably-- and that may presume too much-- Mozilla leaves the open tabs "log" in place during each update. If that record of open tabs remains untouched from update to update, then why does FireFox screw up, update after update, and routinely fail to recover all tabs?
    You might think someone at Mozilla would realize something is wrong. I have let Mozilla "phone home" after each crash, and yet the problem continues.

  • The import tab on the file dropdown menu is not functional under any type ussage, I want to import bookmarks from internet explorer

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • I use an external HD (WD My Passport) to store my iPhoto photos.  When I backed these up on another EHD (WD My Passport Ultra), thumbnails, and a lot of the photos did not copy (show "!").  Now 1st HD says its on a locked volume?  What happened?

    I use an external HD (WD My Passport) to store my iPhoto photos.  When I copied these up on another EHD (WD My Passport Ultra): thumbnails, and a lot of the photos did not copy (show "!").  Now 1st HD says its on a locked volume?  Why?
    Right before the coping finished (started with a 40 hour copy time (I know it's estimated), and with about 30 minutes left, a window popped up and said there was a name conflict between the two HD.  Then it  wrapped things up in a minute or so.  We had formatted the new EHD for Mac.  What happened?

    Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but  maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
    But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
    Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
    Thank you so much for  beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message  that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
    So your kindness is very much appreciated.

  • When i downloaded firefox i choose ur tools i do not like it can i have my old ones back

    when i downloaded firefox it asked if i wanted to use firefox browser or my old one. not knowing i would loose things. is there a way to switch back please

    What is it that you have lost and want back ?
    And was your ''old browser'' another version of Firefox or a completely different browser.
    If for instance you have lost Google Toolbars not that this is no longer supported by Google on Firefox because basically it adds very little if any functionality that Firefox does not already have, (and you can still gain access to google bookmarks if that happens to be one of your problems).

  • When I download Firefox, my computer will not install and claims it is corrupt

    When i download Firefox, my computer will not run the install and claims the file is corrupt.

    Firefox versions 3.0 and higher require OSX 10.4 and higher:

    However, I would think about finding/creating an unofficial build of Firefox 3 for older Mac (if you cannot get next version of Mac OSX). If it's possible. I don't know.
