Microsoft Internet Explorer - IE 8


Expert: Frances Rhea - 4/30/2009

Question
Hi Francis
I just switched from Firefox to IE 8.
I went and uninstalled Firefox, but noew I realise I should have kept it to import my favorites from.
Is there a way to find them, in a backup or something?If so how do I put them on IE8?
Also, I dont like the MSN toolbar. I yried to uninstall it with ADD/REMOVE programs. It went from there but is still present. Can you help with that too? THanks!


Answer
Firefox uses bookmarks which is a html file located in the directory under Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/defaults/profile. If the bookmarks.html file is still there, you can have IE import the bookmarks. If it is no longer on your harddrive, then there is no way to retrieve your old favs.

As for the toolbar, click on View, Toolbars. Unselect the MSN toolbar.

Let me know if you need further help.

Francie
