I recently changed hard drives moving to a larger hard drive. Before doing so, I exported my favorites from Firefox and they were saved on a folder called FAVORITES on a portable hard drive. Now when I try to import these favorites I am unable to import the whole folder at once because Firefox seems to be looking for HTML files not a folder to import. When I drill down into the subfolders of the FAVORITES I had saved, there are files there titles INTERNET SHORTCUTS which appear to be the actual old bookmarks. Please help.

Did you use one of these to export the Firefox bookmarks?

  • Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
  • Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML

Sounds that you are referring to the IE Favorites and in that case you need to use IE to get access to those favorites by copying them to the IE Favorites folder and exporting them to an HTML file.
