Transfer settings from Internet Explorer to Firefox

Some people that want to switch to the Firefox web browser from Internet Explorer have asked me if they can get their Favorites list. The short answer is yes. Firefox is a free Web browser from the Mozilla Corp., and the program works on many Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems. It can import bookmarks or favorites from several other Web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari, and can also bring over cookies, saved passwords and browser history files.

Once you install Firefox on your computer (www.mozilla.com), open the program and go to the File menu. Select the Import option, and a set of dialogue boxes guides you through importing your bookmarks and other data from your older browser.
