Moving favourites?

I am sure this has been asked and answered previously but I can't find it?
I want to swap to Firefox but I want to take my favourites with me, how can I do this? ( in simple short words please, pref with no tech speak! I am a dumb blonde !)

Open Firefox, go to file>import and select IE to import your bookmarks

Manage it?
There are other ways to do it, you can export the file from IE then import it using Firefox's bookmark manager

I seem to recall you don't even have to export them. Firefox is intelligent enough to just grab them anyway.

See my 1st post
2nd was mentioning "another" way to do it, you can also use this one if you have exported your file from IE and are using it on another PC

Forgot to mention, I usually delete all the pre-installed folders and bookmarks as well, just have my own there

Where did you have it last

Do you check email on-line (webmail) or do you download it with the likes of Outlook Express or similar?
