I cannot import my bookmarks from Internet Explorer. The option is grayed out. When I installed Firefox, it asked if I wanted to import my settings and I checked yes, but I have no bookmarks at all and no import option to try and import them again.

How wonderful. Thank you. I have bookmarks. Thank you so much. You'd think that would be written down somewhere. I searched Help and didn't find it.
