    I am having problems with Internet Explorer, very slow, not responding, long running script, all the usual plus adverts constantly trying too load on the right hand side.
    I have no such issues with Chrome, Firefox or Opera but all my bookmarks/favourites are on IE and I don't know how to move them to another browser.
    I am on an all in one PC with Windows 7.

    Thoughts, help anyone?

    Thanks.

    Try resetting IE.
    Go to the gear in the upper right corner.
    Select Internet Options.
    Look at the Advanced tab.
    Click on the Reset button.

    The problem with IE is Microsoft is not putting any more effort into IE anymore.There development time is all going into Edge now.It is probably better to use another browser since IE is not going to get any more updates.I have had several people have the same problem with IE and it always slows down the more it is used.Also gets the script errors again.

    I believe there is a export setting in Chrome and Firefox you could export them.I am not sure exactly but maybe some one else will chime in and help.I have mine all backed up so I just import from a file never did from browser to browser.Have to leave now but if you don't get a answer I will look into it when I get back.

    Should ask if you want to import in you Favorites (Bookmarks) once the new browser is installed and first ran. You can also do a manual transfer.

    Open Internet Explorer
    Click File (from the pull down menus)
    Select Import and Export...
    Put the button in Export to a file
    Click Next
    Put tics in what you want
    Click Next
    Click Next
    If you want to change where the file is save and name other wise make note of it
    Click Export
    Click Finish

    To import would depend on which Browser you choose to use.
