Favorites on Start Menu and Firefox

Is there any way of making the Favorites item on the Start Menu point to
Firefox Bookmarks rather than IE Favorites?

Thanks

If not, here's a workaround:

Export FF bookmarks. Export and save IE faves. Delete IE faves from
IE. import FF bookmarks to IE.

Now they're both the same.

Thanks - not quite what I'm after.
If you click on the Start-Favorites option, you get your IE favorites. What
I'm trying to ascertain is if there's a way, if FF is the default browser,
that if you do Start-Favorites then FF Bookmarks appear, not IE favorites.

First, your asking the right question in the wrong forum. You'd do
better in mozilla.support.firefox

Alternive solution - instead of clicking 'Start Menu' followed by
'Favourites' (2 clicks), why not install the Firefox add-on 'all-in-one
sidebar' (current version 0.7.6)? This puts a (very) thin sidebar of
icons on your Firefox. One of these is 'Bookmarks' (one click, linked to
Firefox bookmarks). End of story.
