Help for an iMac novice - Firefox and IE Favorites
Discussion
A quick, easy and dirty way that I used to do this..
Often bookmarks are saved as a single html file. This being the case(?) once you have located it, put it somewhere safe on the comp (documents folder perhaps), then drag and drop the file onto an open web browser window and it will open with clickable links for your old bookmarks. Then bookmark/save the resulting page as a bookmark in itself. Call it "Imported old bookmarks" or whatever.
Very simple, and works a treat. If not quite so integrated, granted. But its got me out of a fix before when 'import' functions didn't always work as they should have.
Cheers, P

In the end I exported my IE favorites as a bookmark html doc and then imported that!
