Importing Bookmarks To Firefox

A bit of background first. The SSD drive crashed on my Dell laptop. Drive is probably toast, unless I spend about $1K+ for recovery of the data. Fortunately, with a few exceptions, I am able to recover most all my important files for entry to my new Dell All-In-One.

Here's the problem. I use Firefox for my browser, and the new download works fine, with the exception of importing the original "My Favorites" bookmark folder. Mozilla states that it can be done by selecting the existing bookmarks, and import them. However, it seems as though the only option is to import one at a time. I've done a number of searches, and each one leads to the same import processes.

I don't recall this much gymnastics when I imported bookmarks before. Am I missing something?

Thanks, folks.

I had to do this this morning! Click the lll\ icon top right. Click Bookmarks & then Manage Bookmarks. On top bar click Import & Backup & go from there.

You should “Export” bookmarks to a file stored on another device (flash drive, SSD/HD, cloud.) Do this on a regular basis as you usually add new bookmarks during the course of a year. Delete the previous saved bookmark file before you Export to your location. Then, Import the new Bookmarks file to your browser.
