    3 Mysterious Firefox Bookmarks Appear on Desktop


    This morning I noticed three Firefox saved pages that looked like this --


    3 Mysterious Firefox Bookmarks Appear on Desktop [​IMG]


    -- except that had different titles. One was perhaps a page I saved over 9 months ago, one was of a 9 to 5 Mac page I bet I didn't save, and one was a series of numbers. I'm %1000 sure I didn't put those pages on my otherwise orderly desktop.

    I threw'em out and did a FULL virus scan and ran Malwarebytes. Came up clean.

    Does this ring a bell for anyone? I can tell you they didn't come back.

    :)

    importing firefox bookmarks to edge

    The only browser that shows up in Edge to import bookmarks from is Internet Explorer. I also have Firefox and Chrome installed but neither shows on the import list. Anxious to try Edge but will continue using Firefox until I can import bookmarks.

    importing firefox bookmarks to edge

    Firefox is not listed in the browsers to import bookmarks from. How can I import bookmarks from Firefox? I have quite a few and if I cannot import to Edge, I will just stick with Firefox
