How to Get Favorites From IE7 to Firefox Bookmarks

Mozilla Firefox contains its own bookmarks system which is entirely separate from Internet Explorer 7's favorites. If you're switching to Mozilla Firefox, you'll have to import your favorites before they're accessible in Firefox. Mozilla Firefox contains an import wizard which imports favorites, cookies, saved passwords and other browser settings from Internet Explorer and other browsers on your computer. The imported favorites will appear in a folder named "From Internet Explorer" in your Firefox bookmarks menu.

Instructions

1. Click the "File" menu at the top of the Mozilla Firefox window and click "Import."

2. Click "Microsoft Internet Explorer" and click "Next."

3. Select what you want to import from Internet Explorer by clicking the check boxes to the left of each item. If you only want to import favorites, click the checkbox to the left of each other item to deselect it.

4. Click "Next."

5. Click "Finish" after Firefox finishes importing your favorites.

Tips & Warnings

• If you want the bookmarks in the main bookmarks menu instead of the "From Internet Explorer" folder, you can move them using the bookmarks library. Open it by clicking the "Bookmarks" menu at the top of the Mozilla Firefox window and clicking "Organize Bookmarks."
