    Importing favourites from a bookmark html file into Edge browser


    Hi,
    I would like to know the most reliable method to import Bookmarks/favourites saved on a USB stick in HTML file format into the Edge browser.
    I asked a similar question ages ago and importing with Edge was buggy so I'm wondering if the process works any better now?
    I have 20+ main folders and 50+ subfolders in my Bookmark HTML file and I found that Microsoft Edge importing from HTML always left quite a few of the folders and subfolders behind. Is this still an issue?
    Does it work correctly now? Is the import file option in Edge reliable now with HTML favorites or do you guys import your HTML favorites file into Internet Explorer first and then import them from Internet Explorer across into Edge afterwards?

    :)

    Problem Importing Bookmarks from Firefox into Win 10 Edge browser.

    You need to get your bookmarks first into either IE or Chrome, depends what's listed in your Edge "Import Favourites" page. Some people seem only to have IE, some have both. Doesn't matter which you use. Then you can import them into Edge. So...

    1. From Firefox, export your favourites either to desktop or a temporary folder.

    2. In IE or Chrome delete all bookmarks that you no longer want or that are duplicated in Firefox - if you don't do this you will import unwanted bookmarks into Edge.

    3. In IE or Chrome import the bookmarks from wherever you saved them (desktop or folder)

    Chrome ->Bookmarks Manager ->Organize -> "Import Bookmarks from HTML file"

    IE -> click on star -> Add to favourites -> import from another file/browser (n.b. IE allows you to skip step 1)

    4. Open Edge and Import Favourites (Hub -> Favourites -> Import Favourites) from IE or Chrome.

    Done, but like many users I found this Edge import procedure reversed the bookmarks order and I had to resort them manually. Having done all this, I thought that Edge was no better or faster than any other browser and lacked many features so after all this
    import palaver, I'm back to using Firefox in Windows 10.
