How to Import Yahoo! Bookmarks & Toolbar to Firefox

The Yahoo! Toolbar and Yahoo! Bookmarks service both support Mozilla Firefox. If you're switching from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox, you can install the Yahoo! Toolbar and keep using it in your new Web browser. You can access your Yahoo! Bookmarks normally from the website or using the bookmarks menu on the Yahoo! Toolbar. You can also import your Yahoo! Bookmarks directly into the Mozilla Firefox system. After importing them, you can access them directly from Firefox's built-in bookmarks menu.
