    Okay - I am must be missing something really simple. I have been trying off and on for a few days to import my IE bookmarks finto Mozilla. I did not auto import them when I installed and initally ran Mozilla as I did not plan on even using IE and I figured there was a toot-sweet way to import the bookmarks.

    Well, either I am a slow witted fool in regards to this or it really is that difficult. I did notice there is a bookmarks document (not sure of the format) in the Mozilla directory.

    Any help is really appreciated.

    No Go. I get no import option under "File." I am using version 1.7.8

    This is from the Mozilla FAQ:

    How can I import my IE favorites into Mozilla's bookmarks?

    Doing so is a two-step-process.

    First, start IE and select File -> Import and Export. Chose Export favorites and save your IE bookmarks. It's best to select a place where you can easily find them. Then, open Mozilla, and select Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks. In the window the opens up, select Tools -> Import and then select the file with your IE bookmarks that you previously saved. You should now have your IE bookmarks in Mozilla.

    Just use Firefox. Development for the app suite is going to be dropped (only security fixes will be applied), as firefox bombed the app suite in popularity.

    Saying just use [Fill-in with your favorite browser] does not answer the posters question.

    Development is not being stopped on Mozilla Suite because of the popularity of Firefox. The plan from the start was to replace Mozilla Suit with Firefox and Thunderbird.
