Have you thought about installing the Sundial browser?  I found it to be satisfactory in many respects, but apparently the concept of "support" amongst the Sundial people is just that:  a concept.  I asked for help and (after considerable delay) they sent me a slick advertisement!  Good-bye, Sundial.

That was a nice slick publicity piece, but it doesn't address my question:  ''How exactly do I import my bookmarks from my present default browser, Firefox?''  Surely you can do better than merely sending me an advertisement.  If you and your colleagues don't know how to import bookmarks to Sundial from Firefox, please just say so.  Then I can uninstall Sundial and chalk the whole matter up to unpleasant experience.  ''Marketing'' and ''support'' are not the same thing.  Thank you.

By the way, Sundial is about 85 percent Firefox to begin with.  It uses Firefox extensions and plug-ins.  It even looks the same as Firefox!  Sure, it's faster than Firefox; but when I'd click a Web-page link to an audio or video file, the damned thing would crash.  Maybe it's all an April Fools' Day joke?  Dutch geeks are now on my fecal roster.  *is not amused*

Fly, all you have to do to import your bookmarks from Firefox is to export them from your Firefox browser into an HTML file and then you can import them into Sundial. I tried it myself to see and it works fine.

Thanks for that advice, Orion!  One wonders why the Sundial people don't know this.  Well, I've already uninstalled Sundial and I won't be reinstalling it.  Thanks all the same, though!  If a similar problem comes up in future, I'll do like you said.
