Windows 10: Copying favorites from Firefox to MS Edge

Have just this last week upgraded/updated to W10 from the MS site itself. (Version 1909)
(yep, the free offer from them is still there, you just got to know how to download it!).
I'm messing around at the moment with this "new" Microsoft Edge.
By the way, l can still access my Firefox and IE icons so whatever happens, or not, l can still get onto the internet.
So, cannot import FF favorites into MS Edge. It only gives me the options of either IE explorer or an html file.
Go into IE and it only gives me the option of the Safari browser to import.
How do l get all of my FF favorites into MS Edge?
It's getting a bit confusing.
Just to let you know, l am a complete beginner in all of this so make the answer easy to follow if at all possible.
Thanks and regards.

:)

 

Favorites from Firefox to Favorites BAR in Edge


I recently upgraded to Win 10 64 and have decided that I am going to use Edge as my default browser. I have followed the directions on 2 websites now that tell how to transfer favorites from Firefox to Edge and seem to have hit a little snag. I am trying to transfer my favorites but every time I complete the steps, it takes my favorites and puts them in my favorites bar. I have a whole list of pages on my favorites bar in Firefox that I want to use for my favorites bar on edge. Why is the program turning my favorites from Firefox into my favorites BAR on edge? How do I transfer my favorites from Firefox into favorites on Edge and my favorites BAR in Firefox into my favorites BAR in edge? Thank you in advance for your help.

Favorites How do I find my favorites in Edge

While browsing another thread, I found the answer to my previous question. Including it here in case others are searching for the location where favorites are stored.

Kindly, follow the below steps to navigate the Microsoft EDGE browser’s favorites folder location.

• Open Windows File Explorer and navigate to the following path:

(Press Windows + E keys on the keyboard to open File Explorer).

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default


Note: username represent the user account name which you have currently signed in to the Windows 10.

• Here you will be able to locate the EDGE browser’s Favorites folder location.
  
• Check whether you are able to locate the favorites which you have created in EDGE browser.
  

Note: To back up your favorites in Edge browser, simply copy-paste this Favorites folder to a safe location. To restore favorites, copy and paste your Favorites folder back in the location suggested.
