Hi Harry.

Below are step-by-step instructions for importing your Internet Explorer favorites to Firefox.

1) Open up Firefox.
2) Press ALT+b to go to your Bookmarks menu.
3) Press enter on the option "Show All Bookmarks". (it is the first option I'm sitting on when I press ctrl+b).
4) This opens up a new page. Press the alt key.
5) Now press your right arrow key twice. You should hear "Import and Backup".
6) Press your down arrow key until you hear "Import Data From Another Browser."
7) Press the enter key.
8) Your screenreader will now give you the other available browsers as buttons. Arrow down to the button that says, "Internet Explorer.".
9) Tab to the button that reads "Next" and press the Enter key.

Your favorites list from Internet Explorer will be transferred to Firefox. However, they will appear under the heading "From Internet Explorer." You can keep them there or cut and paste them directly into the Bookmarks folder.

I hope this helps.

Subject: [VICUG-L] cannot import favorites from IE into firefox!

Hi all,

Using windows 10, version 1803, and jaws 2018, April update.

I cannot import my favorites from IE to firefox!

I go to options and press enter and tab down through it, and there is no import, at all!

If I cannot import my favorites from IE to fire fox than I won't use it, you gotta have your favorites, but the cool thing is, at least it uses the same downloads folder for downloading.

Harry
