Silently Import Bookmarks from IE to Firefox
I am in an enterprise environment with over 500 machines, and we are looking for a way to import users Bookmarks from IE to Firefox silently and behind the scenes without requiring user interaction.
Due to security restrictions 3rd party software is not a possibility. Most users have already been using Firefox. We do not want to delete their existing bookmarks in Firefox

So to do this, you'll need to use Autoconfig. You can read more about it here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig
Create a file called autoconfig.js and put it in the defaults/pref directory where Firefox is installed.
autoconfig.js
pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);
Then create a file called firefox.cfg where Firefox is installed.
firefox.cfg
//
const {classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu} = Components;
let migratedBookmarks = true;
try {
migratedBookmarks = getPref("bookmarks.migrated.ie");
} catch (e) {}
if (!migratedBookmarks) {
Cu.import("resource:///modules/MigrationUtils.jsm");
MigrationUtils.getMigrator("ie").then((migrator) => {
migrator.migrate(Ci.nsIBrowserProfileMigrator.BOOKMARKS, null, null);
});
pref("bookmarks.migrated.ie", true);
}
This code will import bookmarks from IE and then set a pref saying they were imported so it only happens once.

Hello Mike,
This worked, thank you. Also thank you for referencing the page with the AutoConfig information as I quite like the idea of being able to Centrally manage the file if needed.
1) Create a file called autoconfig.js The text in the Autoconfig.js file is: pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);
2) Copy the autoconfig.js file to: "\\%pcname%\c$\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js"
3) Create a file called firefox.cfg This is the text in the firefox.cfg file // const {classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu} = Components; let migratedBookmarks = true; try {
migratedBookmarks = getPref("bookmarks.migrated.ie");
} catch (e) {} if (!migratedBookmarks) {
Cu.import("resource:///modules/MigrationUtils.jsm");
MigrationUtils.getMigrator("ie").then((migrator) => {
migrator.migrate(Ci.nsIBrowserProfileMigrator.BOOKMARKS, null, null);
});
pref("bookmarks.migrated.ie", true);
}
4) Copy the firefox.cfg file to: "\\%pcname%\c$\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.cfg"
