    Mine all came over with the install of Firefox.

    Try this page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mozilla_Su...g_IE_Favorites

    IE7 did seem to crash a lot initially but seems OK now. That said I find IE is still required for a lot of pages that just aren't Firefox friendly and are obviously built for IE.

    Ditto with mine, there is an import function in tools for that purpose, as well.

    My only use for IE6, is now the MS Update site.
    Recently, I have found sites that are built for Firefox. Beauty, no more spoofing IE in Firefox. Of course, using Linux, the native browser does it all.
    But that is another story.

    Shorty.

    If you use Firefox, but like the IE method of bookmarking ( IE favorites folder rather than a bookmarks html page)

    Try this little firefox extension

    http://www.iosart.com/firefox/plainoldfavorites/

    Allows you to use IE favorites direct from firefox...
