neither of which FireFox seems to be able to read. However, when i select
Internet Explorer instead of From File, everything works fine...

2. Try to import them into FireFox 1.0

Actual Results:  
They didnt import...

Expected Results:  
It should have imported the favorites...

Maxathon is basically a frontend for IE. Therefore you should treat it like IE,
meaning that to import bookmarks from it, you should just import them as you
would for IE.

Maxathon is not a separate browser, it's just a pretty wrapper for IE.
