Moving MSN8 favorites to Firefox

XPgrannie · #1 December 13th, 2004, 05:35 AM

Can someone please help me move my msn8.5 favorites folders to Firefox? There must be a way to find them on the harddrive, isn't there?

I would even be happy burning the favorites folder to disk, if that is at all possible.

Thanx,
Grannie

It could be a round trip solution.

Use the program here to convert the MSN Explorer Book Marks into a Netscape Bookmark file

From there you can import the favorites into Firefox from the Bookmark Manager.

I dunno, Degs, this looks like a very complicated thing, once I'm reading more info links. Are you sure someone like me can do it?

I know, I know...set go back.

My protective programs prompts that this program has vicious malware???

Ah,
I see that it uses a VBS Script.

Allow the script to run or if it not giving you the option you will have to goto your AV options and temporarily disable script blocking.
