Thread: Move Bookmarks From Firefox To Slimbrowser

    Move Bookmarks From Firefox To Slimbrowser

    I am so sick and tired of Firefox, it just gets slower and slower, I can't stand it. I just downloaded Slimbrowser. I have no idea where to go for help.
    How can I, or can I, move my bookmarks, of which I have over 100, into slimbrowser? If I can't I will have to stay with Firefox. I can't do without my Bookmarks.
    Any ideas of any of this?
    thanks
    Patti

    What version of Firefox are you using? Are you absolutely certain that Firefox is the problem? Is Internet Explorer slow also? Have you done a general cleanup of the computer and the browser? Have you updated your java programs lately?

    I agree with jholland1964 that likely some culprit is causing the issue

    ........having said that;

    with Firefox open, select the "Bookmarks" from the menu and click on "Organize Bookmarks"
    in the panel at the left of the Bookmarks Manager Window, highlight the "Bookmarks" ___ in this way you are selecting all of the bookmarks within the folder ___ Then click on "File" at the top left of the menu and choose "Export"
    This will prompt you to save a file, "bookmarks.html" __ then navigate to someplace where you will place that file, such as the Desktop then click the "Save" button.

    You should now see a file on the Desktop, or wherever you directed it to be created.

    Now at this point I am admittedly a bit fuzzy as I have never used Slimbrowser
    however, in that it in fact relies upon Internet Explorer in order to function at all, I will assume that the Import function is similar if not identical
    Therefor, open Slimbrowser, select File from the uppermost menu and click on Import/Export
    Follow the steps and indicate you will be importing from a file
    when prompted, navigate to the bookmarks.html you created on your desktop
    and select it for import

    hope that helped

    I believe you are correct OEM...SlimBrowser is pretty much IE. I cannot imagine anything slowing Firefox other than out of date Firefox itself, out of date java, a crammed full cache, cookies, or malware...OR problems with the ISP.
