I just downloaded Firefox, and it seems faster. But why can't I import bookmarks? I ran the export function from IE to put them into a file, and I've tried to import them, but it's not taking. Do I need to run favtools.exe from Microsoft to convert the file into a recognizable format? I tried running it, but I get a 404 error from the "download.microsoft.com" page.
Ideas?
Hi. When I did it, I did not ran the export function from IE, I just clicked (in Firefox) file, Import, and chose Microsoft Internet Explorer. Good luck.
