Importing Firefox bookmarks

I think the poster wanted to do the opposite - import Firefox bookmarks into
IE. I may be mistaken though.

Here's how to do it:

1. Open Firefox and select Manage Bookmarks from Bookmarks file menu.
2. Select Export from File Menu. This allows you to export Firefox
bookmarks. Be sure to remember the folder the exported bookmarks have been
saved in and the filename, usually "bookmarks", in html format.
3. Close Firefox and then start Internet Explorer.
4. Select Import and Export from File menu.
5. Click Next on the screen then select Import Favorites and select Import
from a File or Address on the next screen. Then select Browse to go to the
saved "bookmarks" file.
6. Click next. Click OK on the next screen.

You are done.

HTH.

Click to expand...

In IE go to File-Import and Export, and Import Favorites. Firefox already
keeps its Bookmarks in one HTML file so the IE import will see the Firefox
file.

Next time, you don't even need to export from within Firefox. Firefox
bookmarks are stored in a single html file, which IE will import directly.
