For future reference, I am currently migrating data from an old disk to a new system. I would love to import bookmarks etc. from the logically connected drive, but cannot. Your current import only seems to recognize what "windows" knows about and has installed.

Import Bookmarks to Firefox

You should say what kind of bookmark file you are importing from. Obviously operating system file formats should be worked out ahead of time.

There is an "Import" selection on the File pull-down in the main menu. Sorry but I'm not sure what bookmark formats it handles. I think there must be some documentation for it. I know there's a very automatic import from MS Internet Explorer "favorites."

Check out bookmark conversion or synchronization utilities that can convert bookmarks from another browser and format to either Firefox directly or to Internet Explorer "favorites."

One I remember is called "Compass."
