I have 'Bookmarked' a lot of web sites for my genealogy on Firefox, but am now having probs with Firefox and need to reinstall the program but do not want to lose all these web sites.

Can anyone advise how I can transfer them to IE, so I do not loose them, and when I have reinstalled Firefox transfer them back?

Sorry this is a bit long winded

In my experience, whenever I have upgraded Firefox, all my bookmarks have remained intact.

You don't say what problems you re having, but Why not upload the latest version of Firefox?

If you do want to transfer them to IE, then this might help

I can start up Firefox click on a web site and it will take me to the home page but when I 'click' on next page it just freezes, then I get a message 'oops this is embarassing' and it asks me if I want to restore the last page or start a new tab
