Importing Firefox bookmarks to IE

oldwiring

When I changed to FIrefox it was dead easy to Import IE Favorites in to Bookmarks. Can it be easily done the other way round and how?

Hi -

1 In IE7 click on add to favourites in the top left hand corner (orange star with green plus sign on it)

2 Open the import/export wizard and select import favourites.

3 The file you need to browse to is
C:\documents and settings\(your windows user name)\Application Data\Mozilla|Firefox\Profiles\(Random name).default\bookmarks.html
where the random name is one generated byfirefox

4 Select a destination folder and then you should get a message saying success

Thanks for guidance. Why item #4? Would it not be favourites in any case?

It will be your favourites folder, but it will offer you an option of which folder within your favourites rather than replace any existing IE favourites. You may then have to click on organise favourites afterwards to tidy up. I did it the other day and it didn't take long.

Hope that made sense!
