Importing bookmarks from Firefox to IE7

Importing bookmarks from FireFox to Internet explorer 7 (IE7) is really easy and straight forward.

First of all click on the add to Favorates icon in internet explorer 7 and choose "Import and Export..."

Import  IE7

This will start the import/export wizard. Click next...

Select "Import Favorites" then click next

Now the "Import from File" is already selected and its the only option. You basically need to locate the path to firefox's bookmark file.

The location depends on your operating system and your windows user name. Also Firefox assigns a random name to your profile but you don't need to know it, it's probably the only folder there.

For Windows 2000 and XP the location of the bookmarks file should be here

C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[RANDOM NAME].default\bookmarks.html

If all went as planned you'll get this window which will allow you pick to the location of your bookmarks

And then when you click next you'll get the message you are waiting for "Success!"
